Between three and six civilians, including up to four children and a woman, most from the same family, were injured in alleged Syrian Democratic Forces shelling of Jarabulus on February 12, 2022.
According to the Syrian Civil Defense, five civilians, including four from one family – a man, his wife, and two of their children, one of whom is seriously injured – were injured in a double attack by the Syrian Democratic Forces on Jarabulus. Images posted by the Syrian Civil Defense show two children, a boy and a girl, being treated for their injuries.
Baladi News correspondent in Aleppo identified that the six civilians that were injured were from one family – a father, mother, and four children. The correspondent added that White Helmets worked to transfer the injured to Jarablus National Hospital.
Syrian Human Rights Committee provided the names of four of the civilians injured: child Abdullah Salman (14 years old), child Abdul Rahman Salman (16 years old), the little girl Batoul Salman (5 years), mother Sobhia Asaker.
Euphrates Post reported that three civilians were wounded, including a child, when Syrian Democratic Forces shelled the city of Jarabulus from east of the Euphrates River. Al Khabour 2011 provided a higher casualty count, reporting that six civilians, including children, were injured.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights identified the two children that were injured as being displaced and another of the civilians injured as being displaced from Homs.
The majority of sources attributed the shelling to the SDF. However, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights mentioned that the shells were fired from areas controlled by regime forces and the “forces of the SDF-backed Military Council”, without specifically blaming the regime for the strikes.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
