 1/8 — Syrian Army Shells Civilian Targets, Issues Forced Evacuation Orders In Aleppo’s Kurdish Neighborhoods

Authorities in Damascus are seeking to pressure the Kurdish-led SDF to relinquish its arms and territory

Syrian government forces shelled civilian areas in two Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo for the third day on 8 January, including near a hospital treating injured civilians, while issuing evacuation orders and threats to bomb a church-owned building sheltering displaced people.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that government forces have indiscriminately fired dozens of artillery shells, mortars, and rocket launchers at residential neighborhoods in Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud on Thursday.

Local sources speaking with SOHR said that government forces and allied armed factions fired heavy artillery shells on the outskirts of the Othman hospital, even though it was crowded with dozens of wounded civilians.

Syrian government forces deployed troops, tanks, and heavy weapons to Aleppo before launching an attack on Tuesday to take control of the Kurdish enclave in Syria’s second-largest city.

Syrian state TV channel Al-Ikhbariyah published a map of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo, marking specific areas and ordering residents to leave their homes, warning that government forces would attack their neighborhoods and houses.
