... that the Syrian town of al-Harra was owned by Beirut-based landowner Selim Freige?

The size is barely above the limit, and the hook isn't interesting unless Freige was notable? There's anyway you could expand the article a bit. Thanks Secret ^account 15:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I could try to expand it a bit, but I've struggled to find more info on the town. There's also not too many notable facts about al-Harrah that I'm aware of. Other than the Freije thing, the Palestine Exploration Fund found ancient stone materials that resembled those from the Byzantine era in al-Harrah if you want to use that. Or we could rewrite the hook to simply say the Syrian town of al-Harrah was owned by a Beirut-based businessman. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok,

... that the Syrian town of al-Harra was owned by a Lebanon-based businessman? Good enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secret (talk • contribs) 17:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
