Geography
It is located on the Harbur River near the confluence with the Zirgan River, about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of the border with Turkey.[4][5]
History
The village was settled by Assyrian refugees in 1933 who moved following the Simele massacre to French controlled Syria to settle in a 25 kilometres (16 mi) stretch of the Khabur River in 35 settlements.
In February 2015 the village was taken by the Islamic State militia during the Al-Hasakah offensive (February–March 2015),[6] resulting in the abduction of about 90, mainly elderly, residents.[7] Several thousand residents fled the city, mostly to the city of al-Hasakah, with some eventually reaching Lebanon. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the village has been emptied of people by 1 March 2015.[8]
