Syrian Civil War
editFollowing the 'Dawn of Idlib 2' campaign, Dadikh became a part of the heavily contested Idlib frontline between Syrian military and Jihadist forces.
On 9 April 2022, two Syrian Army soldiers, including a captain, were killed in the village after HTS forces launched a sniping operation in the area.[2]
On 11 December 2022, HTS militants launched an Inghimasi attack on a Syrian Army position on the outskirts of the village, killing at least 2 Syrian soldiers. The military position was blown up and destroyed during the attack.[3]
