A man, identified as 70-year-old Mohammad Mustafa Haj Mohammad from Dadikh village in eastern rural Idlib governorate, was killed on December 7, 2024, by a landmine of unidentified source in the agricultural lands between the villages of Majdaliya and Dadikh in southern Idlib governorate. The area is under the control of the Military Operations Command.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in areas under their control, and to locate and remove landmines planted in these areas. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which pose a serious, long-term threat, especially to children, that will last for years to come.
