Traditionally two branches of Druze have lived in Lebanon. The Yemeni Druze, led by the Hamdan and Al Atrash families, and Kaysi Druze, led by the Arslan and Jumblatt families. The Hamdans were banished from Mount Lebanon after the battle of Ain Dara in 1711. They migrated to the Jebel-Druze region in south-west Syria.
