Judayda (Arabic: جديدة الجسر), also transliterated as Jdaydeh, is a Christian village located in Al-Janudiyah Nahiyah in Jisr al-Shughur District, Idlib. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Judayda had a population of 407 in the 2004 census.[1] It is an Orthodox Christian village.[2][3]
History
[edit]During the Syrian civil war, most of Judayda's original inhabitants were displaced, with many Christians fleeing to government-controlled areas.[4]
In 2022, renewed outreach by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham toward Christian communities in the Jisr al-Shughur area included visits by its leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani and measures aimed at restoring religious life.[5]
In 2025, small numbers of Christian families began returning to Judayda and nearby villages following the fall of the Assad regime.[6]
