Musa Dagh (Turkish: Musa Dağı; Armenian: Մուսա լեռ, Musa leṛ; Arabic: جبل موسى‎ Jebel Musa; meaning "Moses Mountain") was the site of an Armenian resistance in 1915. The denizens of that region had been given an official order from the Turkish government to perform violent expulsions of six Armenian villages: Kabusia (Kaboussieh), Yoghunoluk, Bitias, Vakef, Kheter Bey (Khodr Bey) and Haji Habibli. This was a fragment of a wider operation conducted by the Ottomans since 1915.
