On March 6, 1912, the Italian forces became the first to use airships in war, as two dirigibles dropped bombs on Turkish troops and Libyan Mujahideen encamped at Janzour, from an altitude of 6,000 feet.
Janzour became a Baladiyah that followed the Greater Tripoli Muhafazah, Janzur was part of Jafara District since 2001. Before that it was part of Zawiya District in 1998 and Before that it was part of Tripoli District in 1995 and Before that it was part of Tarabulus Baladiyah in 1987 and Before that it was part of Janzour Baladiyah in 1983.
The area is of great agricultural value because of the winter rain and the mild weather. The palm and olive trees used to be widespread in the city; however, due to urban planning, and the dramatic increase of people colonization, a lot of these trees disappeared especially the orange trees.
pitao sam jane za bizant
nije znala
samo je gledala kao da sluti
teski pokrov kamenih vjekova
zid placa
i stoicku crtu na licima andjela
i plamen
i radjanje
i smrt
znam da je to osjetila
vidio sam odsjaj iza njenih ledja
rekla je
mozda sve pocinje bez valjanog razloga
mozda sve pocinje iz plavog
zvuk sjeciva dok vibrira
ili pjesma
s one strane dozivljenog
mozda celik
i to samo za trenutak pod svjetlom
kad zablista
mozda ti se svidja da budes tinta
mozda ti se svidja da budes slavan
to nikad neces saznati honey
pustio sam da me uzme sebi
jer sam stvarno cuo pjesmu oklopnika
i udarce od kojih pucaju kosti
i krikova
i metez
i sjecu roblja bez imena
i koliko god izgleda glupo
znao sam da se omca steze oko carskog vrata
i da novi kalif vec zasjeda na mokrim jastucima
iznad prijestolja
rekla je
sto bi se dogodilo da su zaorali rim
kao sto su slali stoku
da pase nad kartagom
da otrgnes jednu vlas za spas vrste
da li bi to uradio honey
da si ohol
pa da te bogovi provedu kroz devet svjetova
a onda te vrate ugasenog
kao mrtvu haringu
