On October 5, 2024, a rocket projectile of unidentified source dropped on an agricultural land near al-Jrad village in northwestern Manbij city in eastern rural Aleppo governorate, injuring two men who were working on the land, identified as 22-year-old Hussein and 40-year-old Jasim al-Kassoum from al-Jrad village. The rocket was fired in tandem with clashes between Syrian National Army (SNA) fighters and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) near the village. The two were transferred to a hospital in Manbij city for treatment. The area is under the control of the SDF.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) suspects that the source of the rocket was either the SNA or the SDF, considering that the village is located on the dividing lines between the territories of the two forces. Investigations are still ongoing to accurately identify the party responsible for the attack.
