On January 8, 2025, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) used a rocket launcher to fire a rocket at Qana Shamali (al-Swajra) village in the southeastern rural areas of Manbij city in eastern rural Aleppo governorate, injuring three children. The area targeted is under the control of the Syrian National Army (SNA).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that, through this attack, SDF has unequivocally violated UN Security Council resolutions 2139 and 2254, which prohibit indiscriminate attacks.
The SDF has also violated the rules of international humanitarian law on distinguishing between civilians and fighters, which only aims to spread panic among civilians.
