التاريخ

Sawran's history dates back to the Iron Age when it was an Aramaean settlement in the Kingdom of بيت عديني known as "Surunu." In a military campaign against Bit Adini's king Ahuni, the Neo-Assyrian king شلمنصر الثالث raided and captured Surunu.[2] It later came under the rule of Assyrian king Tiglath Pileser III.[3]

During the Byzantine era in Syria, Sawran was inhabited by the Arab tribe of Tanukh. Before the Muslim conquest it served an Arab Christian center and contained a fortified monastery. During early Islamic rule, Sawran was part of Jund Qinnasrin ("Military District of Chalcis"), part of the larger Bilad al-Sham province.[4]

Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) took control of the town on 31 May 2015.[5] On 16 October 2016, Turkish-backed rebels captured the town from ISIL.[6][7]
