Al-Tulaysiyah
History
Syrian civil war
In mid-May 2013, during the Syrian civil war, the residents abandoned the village after anti-government rebels launched an attack to capture it. After a firefight with a Syrian Army patrol, the rebels captured al-Tulaysiyah. On 14 April 2014, there was shelling from al-Tulaysiyah (where there is a gathering of pro-government troops) against the village of Atshan. On 20 April, rebels attacked the government-held village and destroyed three military vehicles and shelled Brigade 66. On 5 July, nine rebels were killed by a Syrian Army ambush as they were en route to attack checkpoints in al-Tulaysiyah. On 2 September, pro-government militia from the village attacked the town of Tal Khazneh. On 27 Sep 2016, rebels took control of al-Tulaysiyah town and its hill. On 8 October, taking advantage of rebel-infighting in the nearby Idlib province, the Army launched a counter-attack and recaptured al-Tulaysiyah.
