Ma'an (Arabic: معان, also spelled Maan) is a village in northern Syria, administratively part of the Hama Governorate, located north of Hama. Nearby localities include Suran to the southwest, Murik to the northwest, al-Tamaanah to the north, Atshan to the northeast, Tuleisa to the east, Fan al-Shamali to the southeast and Kawkab to the south. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Ma'an had a population of 1,561 in the 2004 census.[1] Its inhabitants are predominantly Alawites.[2]
In late December 2012, during the Syrian civil war, Islamist rebel fighters from the al-Nusra Front took over large parts of the village as part of a wider offensive in the Hama Governorate. During the battle, 11 rebels and 20 Syrian Army soldiers were killed.[2] It was the site of the Maan massacre in 2014. On October 13th, 2016 the town was liberated by the Syrian Arab Army. [3]
