Batnaya

Batnaya (Arabic: باطنايا‎, Syriac: ܒܛܢܝܐ‎) is a town in northern Iraq, located 14 miles north of Mosul and about 3 miles north of Tel Keppe. The town had a population of about 5,000, but most fled during the Northern Iraq offensive by ISIS in 2014. As of 2018, half of its locals live in a camp near Tesqopa. The town was captured by Kurdish Peshmerga on 20 October 2016 during the Mosul liberation. In early 2019, the United Nations planned to rehabilitate hundreds of damaged homes in the town. In June the first thirty home were restored and residents started returning home.
