On New Year’s Eve, Syria witnessed a suicide bombing in the Bab al-Faraj neighborhood in central Aleppo, near prominent churches including Our Lady Church and the Church of the Forty Martyrs. A suicide attacker detonated himself at the scene.

🔴 Recorded Outcome:
• One police officer killed
• Two other officers injured
• The attacker was killed instantly in the explosion

📌 Documented Details:
• Available information indicates that the perpetrator was attempting to reach one of the nearby churches.
• The explosion occurred after the individual was stopped by a patrol for inspection.

📌 These details indicate that the intended objective was to carry out a mass-casualty attack against civilians celebrating New Year’s Eve.

As the international community continues its silence, the Syrian people—across all components, sects, and social groups—remain alone in confronting these threats. The crisis’s “black box” remains open, with the prospect of even harsher consequences unless urgent and effective international action is taken.

🔴 Incident Summary

A martyr of livelihood… a victim of betrayal and sectarian hatred

Ali Saqr Wasouf was killed after being directly shot while at his workplace inside a poultry farm on the road connecting Tir Jomleh and Baqraqa. He was an unarmed civilian, working solely to earn a living and provide for his family.

This crime forms part of an escalating pattern of violations and the systematic targeting of civilians on the basis of sectarian identity, amid the absence of accountability and legal protection.
