Teir Maalah (Arabic: تير معلة, also spelled Teir Maela or Ter Maala or Ter Maaleh) is a town in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, just north of Homs. Other Nearby localities include al-Dar al-Kabirah to the southwest, al-Ghantoo to the northwest, Talbiseh to the north and al-Mukhtariyah. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Teir Maalah had a population of 7,728 in the 2004 census.[1]
The inhabitants of Teir Maalah had frequently joined demonstrations protesting the Syrian government, during the early stages of the Syrian uprising which began in March 2011.[2] According to opposition activists and witnesses, the Syrian Army sealed off the roads leading to Teir Maalah, as well as Talbiseh and al-Rastan, before assaulting the towns with tanks, which resulted in over 100 wounded.[3]
Ter Maalah is one of the settings in Riad Sattouf's The Arab of the Future series.[4]
