Tell Hefyan (Arabic: تل حفيان), also known as Qodchanis[1] [2] (Arabic: قوجانس), is a village near Tell Tamer in western al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria. Administratively it belongs to the Nahiya Tell Tamer.
The village is inhabited by Assyrians belonging to the Assyrian Church of the East, and Arabs.[3] At the 2004 census, it had a population of 1,132.
Most of the Assyrian inhabitants of the village were displaced when ISIS attacked the area in February 2015.[4]
