Hirbnafsah (Arabic: حر بنفسه, translit. Hīrbnafseh, also spelled Harb Nafseh) or Harbanafsah (Turkish: Hırbınefsıh,[1]Arabic: حربنفسه, translit. Hīrbīnafsīh) is a town in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Hama Governorate, southwest of Hama. Nearby localities include Deir al-Fardis to the north, Tumin and al-Rastan to the east, Kisin and Kafr Nan to the south, Talaf to the southwest, . According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Hirbnafsah had a population of 3,574 in the 2004 census. It is the administrative center and sixth largest locality of the Hirbnafsah nahiyah ("subdistrict") which consists of 26 localities with a collective population of 54,592.[2] Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.[3]
The Syria geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi mentioned that Hirbnafsah was "a village of Hims" when he visited in 1225 during Ayyubid rule.[4]
During the ongoing Syrian civil war, which began in 2011, opposition sources claimed that 40 people in Hirbnafsa were killed as a result of Syrian Army and pro-government militia bombardment on 6 August 2012. Other opposition accounts put the fatality figure at 11, including five children.[5]
