A boy, identified as 10-year-old Abdul Mun’im Ismail Sheikh Dada from izaz city in northern rural Aleppo governorate, was killed on February 1, 2025, by the explosion of a shell war remnant. The shell exploded when he was tampering with it in Izaz city. The area is under the control of the Syrian National Army (SNA).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that war remnants continue to pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives. We have released numerous reports on cluster munitions and other war remnants, calling for securing equipment to help local residents to safely dispose of the various explosive remnants. We have also recorded the use of anti-personnel landmines (APLs) by Assad regime forces, posing a serious threat to anyone in the vicinity, especially children, for years to come.
