During the Syrian civil war, the region became part of opposition-held north-western Syria and experienced constant airstrikes and clashes. On 26 October 2020, the nearby Jabal al-Dweila area was the site of a Russian airstrike targeting a training camp operated by the Turkish-backed rebel group Faylaq al-Sham, with reports estimating that between 35 and 78 fighters were killed[3].
