A 13-year-old boy, named as Hazem al Hatem, from Ein Eisa city in the northern suburbs of Raqqa governorate, was killed when Syrian National Army forces used artillery shells to bomb the city on October 16, 2020.
SNHR notes that through this action, the Syrian National Army have, without doubt, committed a violation of Security Council resolutions 2139 and 2254 which prohibited any further indiscriminate attacks, as well as violating the rules of international humanitarian law, which stress the need to distinguish between civilians and combatants in such attacks that spread terror and panic among civilians.
