On November 30, 2024, fixed-wing Syrian regime forces warplanes fired multiple missiles at al-Bassel Roundabout on the western outskirts of Aleppo city. The attack resulted in a massacre, where 10 civilians were killed, while no fewer than 70 others were injured, in an initial estimate. The area targeted is under the control of armed opposition factions and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that through this attack, Syrian regime forces have again unequivocally violated UN Security Council resolutions 2139 & 2254, both of which categorically prohibit indiscriminate attacks, as well as violating the rules of international humanitarian law on distinguishing between civilians and members. Such attacks aim solely to spread fear and panic among civilians.
