History
Formerly known as İrtah (Artah) and Ar-Rayhaniya, Its southernmost environ, Yenişehir, is thought to be near the ancient village of Imma (or Immae), involved in the Battle of Immae in 272 and probably also with the so-called Battle of Antioch of 218.
The 2013 Reyhanlı car bombings were a terrorist attack that involved the explosion of two car bombs in Reyhanlı on 11 May 2013. 51 people were killed, and 140 more were injured in the attack.[4] The car bombs were left outside Reyhanlı's town hall and post office. The first exploded at around 13:45 local time, (10:45 UTC)[4] and the second exploded about 15 minutes later. People attempting to help those injured in the first explosion were caught in the second blast.[5] At that time, the attack was the deadliest single act of terrorism in the history of modern Turkey,[6][7] only to be surpassed by the 103 victims of the 2015 Ankara bombings.[8]
On 5 July 2019, another car bombing in the town killed 3 people.[9][10]
Geography
