During the Syrian Civil War, Tell Rifaat was captured by the Free Syrian Army in 2012, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014, and the Islamic Front in 2015. During this time, the town was bombed several times by the government of Ba'athist Syria and its Russian allies. Tell Rifaat was captured by the Afrin-based Kurdish YPG on 16 February 2016 after heavy Russian air strikes which destroyed all three health facilities in the town. Following a rebel offensive against the SAA in December 2024, the town fell under control of the Azaz-based Turkish-backed rebel forces (SNA & SIG) and was not incorporated into the Syrian caretaker government until January 2025.
