The Olive Tree Camp is a refugee camp that emerged during the unrest in Syria. Since October 2011 internally displaced Syrians who failed to cross over to Turkey started settling between the Olive Trees. According to Maram Foundation more than 28,000 people live in this camp.

A 150-year old tree in Atma was cut down by jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in November 2013. The jihadists accused the locals of venerating the tree instead of God.
