Askar AL-bALAD, The NAME:
There are several narrative stories have been saied about the name of Asker village, and we will mention some of them .First, and more importently is that the village has been named Asker after the name of the armed forces of the muslem sultan Sallah AL-Deen AL- Al-Ayouby who attacked the crusidian fort which is located at the top of Jerzeem moutain near Nablus city .And as it is known, the word (Asker)in Arabic language means militery troops in English language, and for this reason ,the area was named because of Sallah Alldeen's millitery troops camped in it.And what supports this idea is that the village has a natural water spring which comes from the the nearest mountain,named Ebbal, and flows hnto the agricultural fields named Asker field ( Sahel Asker).Secondly,and this is a weak narrative story saied that the area was named Asker due to the Turkish militery camp during the Islamic Khelafafah which has been vanished by the British invasion to Palestine and the Middle East.Moreover, Asker villagen has gained its importance from the water resorce it has.HAJ Sodqi Abdullah Khaleel who is now aged 100 years old and more says that the people from Beeta village used to come to Asker to caltivate the agricultural lands near the village ."The water spring ( Een Asker)was the main reason for the farmers to settle down and establish the village " Haj Sodqi added.
