Belvoir [1]

(fine view), a Frankish fortress mentioned in connection with the Crusades, as having been destroyed by Saladin after the capture of Safed in 1188, seems to be the Kaukab of the Arabian historians, and the present Kaukab el-Hawa ("meteor of the air"), on the heights west of the Jordan valley, between Beisan and the lake (Robinson, Bib. Res. 3, 178, 226).
