Kabani or Kabanah (Arabic: كبانة) is a Syrian town in the Al-Haffah District in Latakia Governorate.

[2] It witnessed over a dozen consecutive military attacks (2015–16 Latakia offensive and 2016 Latakia offensive) to control it by the Syrian Army, since it is one of the highest points in Jabal al-Akrad, that overlooks the Al-Ghab Plains, and from where the rebels still had the ability to shell government strongholds like Qardaha.

[6] In January 2016 at the very latest Kabani became a jihadi stronghold after the fall of Salma to the Syrian Army.

From 2017 on, the town was under the control of the Salafi jihadist groups Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and the Turkistan Islamic Party.

On 19 May 2019, these groups alleged that the Syrian government had released chlorine gas on their fighting forces in the town.
