Khaled Fajr Hospital in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo has been transformed from a refuge for patients into a site of immediate danger, after being subjected to repeated artillery and mortar attacks, despite the presence of children, women, and elderly patients inside.

Over the past two days, terrorist factions within the Ministry of Defense of the Transitional Government have intensified their attacks on besieged neighborhoods in Aleppo, with a direct focus on targeting hospitals, medical facilities, and civilians. Khaled Fajr Hospital was struck four consecutive times last night, then targeted again this morning and shortly thereafter, bringing the total to five shelling incidents today alone.

Documented footage from inside the hospital shows large numbers of patients accompanied by their families, including children, women, and the elderly, living under extremely dangerous humanitarian conditions amid ongoing bombardment.

In this context, Dr. Walat Mamo issued an urgent appeal calling for the immediate cessation of attacks on the hospital and civilians, urging international organizations to intervene without delay to protect patients and medical staff.

In a highly dangerous development, terrorist factions within the Ministry of Defense of the Transitional Government declared Khaled Fajr Hospital a military target, constituting documented evidence of premeditated criminal intent to attack a medical facility protected under international humanitarian law. This escalation threatens the hospital’s complete shutdown and the further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the neighborhood.

A drone operated by terrorist factions within the Ministry of Defense of the transitional government once again targeted Martyr Khaled Fajr Yassin Hospital, which is sheltering a large number of civilians injured as a result of the continuous shelling carried out by these factions over the past three days.

This shelling followed an official announcement by the Ministry of Defense designating the hospital as a military target, further confirming the deliberate and premeditated nature of the attack against a protected medical facility.

This repeated targeting comes as part of a systematic pattern of attacks against medical facilities and the wounded, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe and threatening to force the hospital completely out of service.

Jihadists members of the Ministry of Defense of the Transitional Government – De Facto Authority carried out an extrajudicial execution of two staff members from Othman Hospital in Aleppo’s Al-Ashrafieh neighborhood, following the raid by terrorist factions on the area last Thursday.

📌 Victim Details:
• Dr. Ali Hanif Othman – born 1989 – pharmacist at the hospital – Kurdish
• Adnan Aref Othman – born 1968 – hospital technician – Kurdish

• Relatives confirm that the victims were civilians, unarmed, with no affiliation to any military or political group, and were performing their duties providing medical care to the wounded.

⚠️ Legal Assessment:
This act constitutes a clear war crime, violating all national and international laws, conventions, and customary norms, and is condemned under all local and international instruments protecting civilians and medical facilities.

Footage captured during a live broadcast on a channel loyal to the terrorist de facto authority shows the presence of an armed member of the Syrian Civil Defense, operating under the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management in the Transitional Government of Syria.

During the live broadcast, the member was seen carrying a pistol while covering clashes in the area, before quickly concealing the weapon upon realizing that the scene was being aired live.

This constitutes a breach of neutrality standards and Civil Defense obligations in conflict zones, in accordance with International Humanitarian Law.

Field documentation confirms that terrorist factions operating within the Ministry of Defense of the interim Damascus government (the de facto authority) have carried out arbitrary arrests of Kurdish civilians without any charges, solely on the basis of their ethnic identity.

⚠️ Documented patterns of abuse:
• Physical and verbal assaults against detainees.
• Forcing some detainees to perform degrading and humiliating acts, including being forced to bark, reflecting practices previously documented in the Syrian coast and Suwayda.
• Ongoing detention of Kurdish youths seized from the streets surrounding the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood.
• Fabrication of ready-made accusations related to alleged “SDF cells” to justify detention.

❗These facts indicate a pattern of targeting based on ethnic identity, amounting to serious human rights violations, and confirm that what is taking place is a systematic campaign against Kurdish civilians, rather than any legitimate security operation.
