History
In 1875 Victor Guérin found it to be a large village with 800 Metuali inhabitants.
During the 2006 Lebanon War, Doueir was among the first targets of the Israel Defense Forces, with a family of 12 killed on July 13. The village has since benefited from investment by the Italian government to build a new olive oil mill.
