On February 10, 2025, two siblings, identified as Ahmad and Mohammad Badr Idrees from Bostan Sbeih village in eastern rural Hama governorate, were killed, while their other sibling, identified as Anwar Badr Idrees, was injured by the explosion of a landmine of unidentified source in the badiya ‘desert area’ of Sha’er district in eastern rural Homs governorate. The area is under the control of the current transitional authorities in Syria.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
SNHR calls on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities in protecting civilians in their areas and identify the locations of landmines and remove them. We have recorded hundreds of deaths and injuries from landmine explosions. Landmines pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives for years to come in these areas, particularly children.
