Hawar Kilis

Hawar Kilis (Arabic: حوار كلس, romanized: Ḥiwār Kalas, Turkish: Havar Kilis or Havar[1]), alternatively spelled Hiwar Kalas, is a village in northern Aleppo Governorate, northwestern Syria.

It is located between Azaz and Al-Rai, on the Queiq Plain, some 45 kilometres (28 mi) north of the city of Aleppo, and just 2 km (1.2 mi) south of the border with the Turkish province of Kilis.

The village administratively belongs to Nahiya Sawran in Azaz District.

Nearby localities include Zayzafun 3 km (1.9 mi) to the west and Baraghida 3 km (1.9 mi) to the south.
