Al-Yaarubiyah (Arabic: ٱلْيَعْرُبِيَّة|al-Yaʿrubīyah; Kurdish: تلکۆچەر|Til Koçer)[1] is a town in al-Hasakah Governorate, Syria. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Al-Yaarubiyah had a population of 6,066 in the 2004 census. It is the administrative center of a nahiyah ("subdistrict") consisting of 62 localities with a combined population of 39,459 in 2004.[2]
Its population are mostly Sunni Muslim Arabs of the Shammar tribe. During the Syrian civil war, the town came under the control of jihadist rebels, including the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State, but was later captured by the Kurdish YPG,[3] bringing it into the AANES.
The town was the border post between French-Syria and British-Iraq and had a railway station on the Baghdad Railway. It is twinned by Rabia on the Iraqi side of the border.
