During the Syrian Civil War

In 2016, Kabani was under the control of the Free Syrian Army's 1st Coastal Division.[2] It witnessed over a dozen consecutive military attacks (2015–16 Latakia offensive and 2016 Latakia offensive) to control it by the Syrian Army, since it is one of the highest points in Jabal al-Akrad, that overlooks the Al-Ghab Plains, and from where the rebels still had the ability to shell government strongholds like Qardaha.[3][4][5] Despite numerous attempts by the Syrian army to conquer the city, rebels have succeeded in countering every Syrian army attack, until the latest offensive from 31 May 2020.[6]
