On the night of Sunday, December 1st, 2024, two alleged Russian airstrikes reportedly killed a man, Hamid Al-Jasem, and injured his wife and two children when the strikes hit his family home in the village of Al-Karidiyah, in Bazaa countryside, east of Aleppo, Syria.

A tribute to Al-Jasem was posted on Facebook by @News of Northern Syria, moment by moment, and noted that Al-Jasem’s family home was hit in the airstrike. The post included a photo of Al-Jasem, a middle-aged man. He was pictured with a beard and dark hair, wearing a plain T-shirt. The image is cropped from a larger photograph that included a young child.

The White Helmets (@SyriaCivilDefe on twitter/X) noted the incident at 11:15 AM local time, which implied that the incident took place before 9:15 GMT. However, in its tweets, the SCD noted that the incident happened at night.

@Levant24_ar and @ibra_him_7_5 on Twitter/X reported that the belligerent was the Russian military. This aligns with multiple reports from @SyriaCivilDefe across social media.
