On October 31, 2024, five workers were killed, while others were injured, by the detonation of explosives used to demolish rocks, while working trenches used for military purposes in Tal Baroud village, administratively a part of Jabal Abdul Aziz district, in southwestern Hasaka governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that the workers are civilians, but were working with the SDF in digging trenches.
It should be also noted that the SDF has violated international human rights law, through this act of murder. The perpetrators must be held accountable.
