Organized as a militia, the villagers repelled an initial al-Nusra assault in 2013 -who nevertheless managed to control three-quarters of the village- and a second Isis assault in 2015. Ma, in Sadad or elsewhere, many young people from the village lost their lives in the fighting during the war. Dying in defense of their country, they acquired the title of martyrs among the Syrians.
