The Ottomans did not attempt to restructure the political configuration of the region on the local level such that the borders of the nahiya were drawn to coincide with the historic strongholds of certain families. Nablus was only one among a number of local centers of power within Jabal Nablus, and its relations with the surrounding villages, such as <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Beita,_Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Beita, Nablus">Beita</a> and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Aqraba,_Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Aqraba, Nablus">Aqraba</a>, were partially mediated by the rural-based chiefs of the nahiya.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Doumani3-24">[23]</a> During the 16th century, the population was predominantly Muslim, with Jewish, Samaritan and Christian minorities.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-STF-10">[9]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-25">[24]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Hutteroth-26">[25]</a> After decades of upheavals and rebellions mounted by Arab tribes in the Middle East, the Ottomans attempted to reassert centralized control over the Arab vilayets. In 1657, they sent an expeditionary force led mostly by Arab <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Sipahi?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Sipahi">sipahi</a> officers from central <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Ottoman_Syria?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Ottoman Syria">Syria</a> to reassert Ottoman authority in Nablus and its hinterland, as part of a broader attempt to established centralized rule throughout the empire at that time. In return for their services, the officers were granted agricultural lands around the villages of Jabal Nablus. The Ottomans, fearing that the new Arab land holders would establish independent bases of power, dispersed the land plots to separate and distant locations within Jabal Nablus to avoid creating contiguous territory controlled by individual clans. Contrary to its centralization purpose, the 1657 campaign allowed the Arab sipahi officers to establish their own increasingly autonomous foothold in Nablus. The officers raised their families there and intermarried with the local notables of the area, namely the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Ulama?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Ulama">ulama</a> and merchant families. Without abandoning their nominal military service, they acquired diverse properties to consolidate their presence and income such as soap and pottery factories, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Turkish_bath?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Turkish bath">bathhouses</a>, agricultural lands, grain mills and, olive and sesame oil presses.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nablus?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Doumani3-24">[23]</a> The most influential military family were the Nimrs, who were originally local governors of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Homs?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Homs">Homs</a> and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Hama?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Hama">Hama</a>'s rural subdistricts. Other officer families included the Akhrami, Asqalan, Bayram, Jawhari, Khammash, Mir'i, Shafi, Sultan and Tamimi families, some of which remained in active service, while some left service for other pursuits. In the years following the 1657 campaign, two other families migrated to Nablus: the Jarrars from <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Balqa_(region)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Balqa (region)">Balqa</a> and the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tuqan_family?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Tuqan family">Tuqans</a> from northern Syria or Transjordan. The Jarrars came to dominate the hinterland of Nablus, while the Tuqans and Nimrs competed for influence in the town. The former held the post of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Mutasallim?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Mutasallim">mutasallim</a> (tax collector, strongman) of Nablus longer, though non-consecutively than any other family.

In 1773, he tried again without success. Nevertheless, from a political perspective, the sieges led to a decline in the importance of the city in favor of Acre.
