Debaal () or Deb’aal is a municipality located at the Tyre District, in the South Governorate, Lebanon. It is located north of Jwaya and south of Baflay, 22 km east of Tyre.
== History == In 1875, Victor Guérin visited, and wrote that the village, inhabited by Metawileh, sits atop a hill surrounded with terraces bearing olive, fig, and tobacco crops. Guérin compared Debaal's significance unfavorably to that of Maarakeh, a village he visited earlier.
