Al-Janudiyah (Template:Lang-ar; also spelled al-Janoudiya, el-Janudieh, al-Janoodiya) is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Idlib Governorate, located northwest of Idlib along the western banks on the Orontes River in Zawiya Mountain.[2] Nearby localities include Shughur Fawqani to the southwest, Jisr al-Shughur 10 kilometers to the south, Bishlamun to the southeast, Kafr Dibbin to the northeast, Yacoubiyah and al-Qunaya to the north, and Maland to the northwest.

According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Janudiyah had a population of 5,295 in the 2004 census.[1] The town is also the administrative center of the Al-Janudiyah nahiyah which consists of 13 localities with a combined population of 19,642.[1] The town's inhabitants are predominantly Arab Sunni Msulims.[3]

Al-Janudiya contains ancient pottery resembling that of the Amuq region.[4] The geology of the site is marked by soft marl and limestone.[5]

Syrian civil war

During a Syrian Army operation against opposition rebels in Jisr al-Shughur, on 15 June 2011, al-Janudiyah was surrounded by Syrian troops.[6] On 5 September, after clashing with army deserters fleeing towards the nearby border with Turkey, armor-backed Syrian troops entered al-Janudiyah, according to witnesses.[7] Later, on 15 September, a boy was reportedly killed by security forces during an anti-government demonstration in the town, according to opposition activists.[2]

On 4 February 2012 one rebel was killed and four injured in al-Janudiyah during clashes with Syrian security forces.[8] Further clashes in the town on 11 March left three Syrian Army soldiers and one civilian dead according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.[9] On 1 April a Syrian Army convoy was assaulted by defectors resulting in the deaths of four soldiers and the injuring of eleven others.[10]

In the first days of February 2013 rebels captured al-Janudiyah and nearby Yakubiyah.[3]
