Abstract
In early 1979 one of the sons of the shaykh of the Hsana, a Syrian Bedouin tribe, was killed by members of another tribe. The story of why and how the Hsana took revenge on the perpetrators' tribe was told to the author by their current shaykh. The article uses this story and its specificities when compared to other tribes and their oral histories as a reference for illustrating and explaining the present, special situation of the Hsana in Syria.
