Bani Zeid is a Palestinian town in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, located 22 kilometers (14 mi) northwest of Ramallah in the north-central West Bank and about 6 kilometers (4 mi) south-west of Salfit. A town of 5,515 inhabitants, Bani Zeid was created as a merger between the villages of Deir Ghassaneh and Beit Rima. The town owes its name to a Bedouin tribe originally from the Hejaz that were granted ownership of the area during the 13th-14th centuries for serving in the Ayyubid army during the Crusades. During Ottoman rule, Bani Zeid became an administrative subdivision consisting of twenty villages with Deir Ghassaneh being its capital.
