The Aleppo Massacre (Arabic: قومة حلب‎‎, Qawmat Ḥalab), often referred to simply as The Events (Arabic: ‎‎, al-hawādith), was a riot perpetrated by Muslim residents of Aleppo, largely from the eastern quarters of the city, against Christian residents, largely located in the northern suburbs of Judea and Saliba. The riot began on the evening of October 17, 1850, and ended two days later on October 19, 1850. The riot resulted in numerous deaths, including that of the Syriac Catholic Patriarch Peter VII Jarweh.
