Tell Shamiram or Tell Shamiran (Arabic: تل شميرام أو تل شميران), also known as Marbisho[2][3] (ماربيشو), is a village near Tell Tamer in western al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria.
[1] It is located on the Khabour River near the confluence with the Zirgan River, about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of the border with Turkey.
[5][6] The village was settled by Assyrian refugees in 1933 who moved following the Simele massacre to French controlled Syria to settle in a 25 kilometres (16 mi) stretch of the Khabur River in 35 settlements.
In February 2015 the village was taken by the Islamic State militia during the Eastern al-Hasakah offensive,[7] resulting in the abduction of about 90, mainly elderly, residents.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that the village has been emptied of people by 1 March 2015.
