Kafr Halab (Template:Lang-ar, also spelled Kafar Halab) is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Atarib District of the Aleppo Governorate, located southwest of Aleppo. Nearby localities include Kafr Nouran to the northwest, Urem al-Sughra to the north, al-Bawabiya to the south and Maarat al-Ikhwan to the southwest. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Kafr Halab had a population of 4,136 in the 2004 census.[1]
Kafr Halab was visited by Syrian geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi in the early 13th-century during Ayyubid rule. He described it as "a village belonging to Aleppo [Halab]."[2]
During the current Syrian uprising, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed three people in Kafr Halab were killed by unidentified assailants on 9 August 2012.[3]
