In June 2016, the village was under control of ISIL.[2] On 8 September 2016, ISIL evacuated its headquarters in al-Bab and moved it to Al Khafsah with dozens of vehicles carrying militants and weapons. This came a day after Turkish-led rebel forces expressed their goal of capturing al-Bab.[3] On the evening of 7 March 2017, Khafsa was captured by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).[4][5]
