On July 9, 2023, five civilians, including a child, were killed, and three others, also including a child, were injured by a car bomb whose source we have not yet been able to identify , which exploded in front of a car repair workshop in Shawa village in al-Ra’ie area in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate. The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that the car exploded immediately after stopping in front of the workshop.
The area is under the control of the Syrian National Army (SNA). SNHR is trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We condemn all bombings that target civilians and cause senseless indiscriminate deaths. We call on the SNA, the controlling forces in the area, to uphold their responsibility for protecting civilians in their areas, launch an investigation into the incident, and make its findings known to the public. There will be no stability in Syria without a true political transition process towards democracy based on a concrete timeline.
