History
During the Syrian civil war, most of Judayda's original inhabitants were displaced, with many Christians fleeing to government-controlled areas.[4]
In 2022, renewed outreach by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham toward Christian communities in the Jisr al-Shughur area included visits by its leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani and measures aimed at restoring religious life.[5]
In 2025, small numbers of Christian families began returning to Judayda and nearby villages following the fall of the Assad regime.[6]
