Brital () is a village located in the Baalbek District of the Baalbek-Hermel Governorate in Lebanon. ==History== In 1838, Eli Smith noted Brital (under the name of Bereitan) as a Metawileh village in the Baalbek area.
Brital has been a well-known town for its rebellious people in the times before and after the creation of Lebanon in 1924. Due to the town's mountainous landscape, multiple revolutions against any occupation were born in Brital. The revolution against the French mandate was led by a prominent Britali and his local men (Melhem Kassem al-Masri), also Brital is the birthplace of the Amal movement and Hezbollah.
