History Ḫandaq (today called Hendekköy) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Chaldean Catholics. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 8 households, who paid 15 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, there were 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza of Jazirat Ibn ʿUmar. The Chaldean Catholics were served by the Chaldean Catholic diocese of Gazarta. Kurds of the Mamman tribe attacked the village on 19 June 1915 and massacred the villagers amidst the Sayfo. It was subsequently usurped by Kurds.
