The subject heading follows the Name Authority records. Under normal rules, it would only be qualified if there are two places of the same name within Israel, but for some reason CPSO made an exception (deliberately, see the authority record). Deciding it is an extinct jurisdiction is probably legitimate since no currently existing jurisdiction has similar boundaries or any sort of claim to be a legal continuation (though usually CPSO is fanatical in squeezing extinct jurisdictions into modern ones, e.g. the Republic of Venice passed off as an earlier names of the currently Italian city).
