The inhabitants of Teir Maalah had frequently joined demonstrations protesting the Syrian government, during the early stages of the Syrian uprising which began in March 2011.[2] According to opposition activists and witnesses, the Syrian Army sealed off the roads leading to Teir Maalah, as well as Talbiseh and al-Rastan, before assaulting the towns with tanks, which resulted in over 100 wounded.[3]

Ter Maalah is one of the settings in Riad Sattouf's The Arab of the Future series.[4]
