The Tal Tamr town lies on the strategically important Aleppo – Hasaka International Highway known as the M4, that links the Euphrates and the Jazira, as one of the vital areas in North Eastern Syria, inhabited by Kurds, Arabs and Assyrians, and home to hundreds of the Sere Kaniye and Gire Spi IDPs, in the aftermath of the Turkish Invasion on October 9^th, 2019.
