 Aqil 's son Quwaytin succeeded him as the chief of the Hanadi tribesmen who continued to inhabit the Galilee and its vicinity . In the late 19th century , Quwaytin 's tribe had some 900 members and was based in the northern Jordan Valley . Quwaytin donned the honor cross medallions given to his father by various European governments . However , Hanadi influence and strength in the region diminished under Quwaytin and was gradually suppressed by various Ottoman actors , eventually reducing the Hanadi to an ineffectual tribe . Quwaytin 's son and successor Rida also entered into Ottoman service and held the title of agha like Aqil . In the early 20th century , Rida Agha held the equivalent rank of a lieutenant and served as commander of police in the Balqa Sanjak in Transjordan .
