Mabujah ( also spelled Mabuja, Mabouja, Mabouga, Mabujeh or Al Mab`ujah) is a village in central Syria located in the Sabburah Subdistrict of the al-Salamiyah District in Hama Governorate.

Those killed came from all of the village's religious sects and included whole families. Syrian Army forces repelled the militants hours later. According to the Syrian military, the attack was part of IS's efforts to advance toward the cities of Hama and Homs via the Syrian Desert.
