History

Tal-Ḥasan was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had seven households, who paid twenty-five dues, and it did not have a church or a priest. There were fifteen Syriac families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the village's owner Ömer Osman had the Syriacs killed and personally murdered seven Syriac widows and collected their blood. By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.
