The historic Ja’abar Castle, a testament to the Syrian Democratic Forces’ (SDF) triumph over terrorism, stands as a symbol of freedom and rebirth. Once a desolate landscape marred by the atrocities of ISIS, the castle’s natural beauty and cultural heritage have been restored through the unwavering efforts of the SDF.
In late 2016 and early 2017, the Syrian Democratic Forces launched a campaign to liberate Ja’abar Castle and its surrounding villages from ISIS terrorism. With great sacrifice and courage, SDF fighters secured the region, ensuring the safety and freedom of its people. The memories of those days remain vivid in the minds of those who witnessed and participated in the liberation campaign, serving as a reminder of the bravery and determination of the SDF.
While the village of Ja’abar bears the scars of war, the Syrian Democratic Forces have worked tirelessly to rebuild and restore it. Today, the castle stands as a testament to the victories achieved and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom. It is a symbol of hope and a reminder of the bravery and struggle of SDF forces and people.
