History

[edit]

Qasrok was settled by Syriac Orthodox Christians in the 1940s in the territory of Dahām al-Hādī, sheikh of the Shammar tribe.[2] A 14th-century Syriac inscription was found at the village and reported to the local priest in 1948.[3] The Church of St. Shama'ūn Zaitūni at Qasrok was established in 1997.[4]
