History

[edit]

In Roman times in Near Antiquity, Seriana housed a temple, known as the Church of Seriana.

During the Syrian Civil War, Ithriyah became a strategically important point. It lays on the last highway under government control connecting the city of AleppotoKhanasir and the Salamiyah region. In the Ithriyah-Raqqa offensive (February–March 2016) and Ithriyah-Raqqa offensive (June 2016), the town was used as a launching point for offensives against IS.

On 15 December 2022, ISIS forces ambushed a convoy of the Syrian NDF militia near the village. The ambush began following the detonation of a landmine under the militiamen's car, killing 3 NDF fighters immediately. Brief clashes took place between ISIS forces and the militiamen, another 2 NDF fighters were killed in the clashes.[2]
