On February 27, 2023, 10 civilians from the Bouhasan tribe were killed by a landmine whose source we have not yet been able to identify, when it exploded under the vehicle they were travelling in as it passed through the Tal Salama area of eastern al-Salamiya city in the eastern suburbs of Hama governorate, as they were on their way to collect desert truffles.

The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces. The Syrian Network for Human Rights is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.

We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities to protect civilians in their areas, and to locate and remove landmines planted in these areas. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries from the explosion of landmines, which pose a long-term, serious threat, especially to children, which will last for years to come.
