History
In 2011, a mosaic was discovered in Kafr Nabudah dates back to the 6th century during the Byzantine era.[2] By 1526, the settlement was home to 18 households and 4 bachelors, but by the end of the 16th century it had shrunk to only 6 households.[3]
In 1838, its inhabitants were noted as being predominantly Sunni Muslims.[4]
During the Syrian Civil War, the town quickly fell to Syrian opposition forces, but would be shelled repeatedly by both the regime (in 2013) and Russian (in 2015) air forces.[5][6] The Syrian army regained control of the town during the Northwestern Syria offensive on June 2, 2019.[7]
On 30 November 2024, HTS rebels recaptured the city from the Syrian Army.[8]
As of 21 April 2025, 2,175 residents have returned to the town, which had been deserted prior to the end of the Syrian Civil War.[9]
