Two civilians, including an infant, were killed and about 12 others were injured when Syrian Democratic Forces used heavy artillery to fire shells on al Ziadiya neighborhood in Afrin city in the northwestern suburbs of Aleppo governorate on July 15, 2021.
Through this action, SDF have, without doubt, committed another violation of Security Council resolutions 2139 and 2254 which prohibit any further indiscriminate attacks, as well as violating the rules of international humanitarian law which stress the distinction between civilians and combatants spreading terror among civilians.
