Syrian Civil War

During the Syrian Civil War, the town was fought over in several battles. After the rebels took over the town in 2012 it was captured by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in January 2014. In the summer, the Kurdish YPG took the town but lost it in late 2015 to the rebels.

On the 8 February 2016, the Kurdish YPG recaptured Deir Jamal. On 12 March 2018, during the Afrin offensive (January–March 2018), it was handed over to the Syrian Army.

On May 7 2022, a Syrian soldier was killed in the village after Turkish and SNA forces shelled the village with artillery.
