Ira, Syria

In 1596 the village appeared under the name of "Timri" in the Ottoman tax registers as part of the nahiya (subdistrict) of Bani Nasiyya in the Qadaa of Hauran.

They paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; the taxes totaled 16,000 akçe.

[2] In 1838 'Ira was reported to be populated with Druze and Greek Orthodox Christians.

This marked the consolidation of Bani al-Atrash supremacy in Jabal Hauran over the Al Hamdan.

The village was attacked by Ruwala tribesmen in 1893 during hostilities between the Bani al-Atrash and the Ottomans.
