The Sack of Jebbel Makloub of 1820 was a Kurdish sack, led by Mir Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz, a Kurdish emir. The attack was directed against Assyrian communities in the region as part of a broader campaign to consolidate Kurdish power and influence in northern Mesopotamia. The sack resulted in widespread destruction, loss of life, and the displacement of many Assyrians from their ancestral villages.[3][4][2]
