On this day eight years ago | Warplane commits a massacre in Kafr Batna in Rif Dimashq

SOHR renews its call for bringing the perpetrators and those involved in killing Syrian people to justice

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights recalls the horrible massacre that took place on February 5, 2015, committed by warplanes, where 40 civilians including women and children were killed after the regime’s warplanes fired highly explosive missiles on a public market full of civilians in the centre of Kafr Batna city in Rif Dimashq.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) would like to bring to mind heinous massacres committed against innocent and peaceful Syrian civilians by all conflicting and warring powers in Syrian territory, especially since killing of Syrians has been still continuing for over a decade.
We, at SOHR, renew our calls to bring all those responsible and those who aided and abetted the killing of Syrian people to justice. We also appeal to the international community and united nations to intensify their efforts to reach a political settlement which could potentially put an end to bloodshed in Syria.
