The capture of the village by the YPG halted the northwards advance by the Syrian Army during the offensive. On 11 June 2023, a Russian soldier was killed and 4 others were injured by Turkish shelling on their military vehicle near the village. This came after a day after a Turkish drone strike killed 3 YPG fighters on the same frontline. It was eventually captured by Turkey-backed militants in November 2024.{{cite news |title=
