On the evening of Wednesday 9 August, 2023, one civilian was reportedly killed and five to seven others, including three children and a woman, were injured by a missile strike on the Kuwait Al Rahma camp for displaced persons in Jabal Teranda, Afrin. The strike reportedly came from areas controlled by the regime forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces.

The father of Syrian Civil Defense volunteer Muhamad Tabakh died as a result of his injuries, and Muhamad’s wife and daughter Celine suffered serious injuries and underwent surgery. Celine and her family were reportedly displaced from the countryside of Idlib. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the civilian death and that seven others were injured to varying degrees from the shelling.

Both sources attributed the shelling to areas controlled by the Syrian Defense Forces and the Syrian regime without specifying who was responsible.
