On September 17th 2022, Russian forces allegedly hit to stone-cutting sawmills on the outskirts of Hafsarja village, west of Idlib, which resulted in the injury of a worker.  Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that the worker was identified as Ghaith al Kouz.

The Syrian Civil Defense team inspected the area and found that the attack was likely a result of cluster bombs.

One of the sawmills was also targeted on September 8th 2022, and up to seven civilians were killed and 15 others were wounded (see R4467).
