متى إنتهت معركة رأس العين ؟
During the Syrian Civil War, Ras al-Ayn has been engulfed by the long Battle of Ras al-Ayn. In late November 2012 rebels of al-Nusra Front and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) attacked positions of the Syrian Army. During the following eight months, Kurdish YPG forces, who were present from the outset, gradually took over control and approached the more moderate FSA rebels. On 21 July 2013, the YPG expelled the jihadists after a night of heavy fighting. On 21 January 2014, Ras al-Ayn officially became part of the newly founded Jazira Canton in the "de facto" autonomous region of Rojava.
