Kafr Safra (Arabic: كفر صفرة, also spelled Kafar Safra; Kurdish: Kefersefrê)[2] is a village in northern Syria, administratively part of the Afrin District of the Aleppo Governorate, located northwest of Aleppo. Nearby localities include Shaykh al-Hadid to the north, Qarah Bash to the east and Jindires to the south. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Kafr Safra had a population of 2,150 in the 2004 census.[1] The town eventually came under the control of the Syrian National Army on March 9, 2018.
In late 19th century, German orientalist Martin Hartmann noted Kefer Safra as a settlement with 10 houses inhabited by Kurds.[3]
