==History== Hadchit's ancient political center was located in Tyre. The government was Byzantine, so the natives were required to fight in the military or find employment. The inhabitants of Hadchit were a mixture of many peoples. The majority were Canaanites, Phoenician and Aramean, who later became known as the Syriac.
