Landmine and War-Remnant Blasts Continue to Kill and Injure Civilians and Soldiers

People: Leaning negative Outlets: Leaning negative

Multiple landmine and unexploded-ordnance blasts across Daraa, Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa left civilians and soldiers dead or wounded in recent days, with victims including a child sorting stones and a soldier clearing former-regime remnants. North Press reported 75 ISIS-linked attacks in Syria since the start of the year, adding to the toll.

In detail

Daraa 24 documented that children made up over a third of October's death toll in Daraa province, with landmines, Jordanian raids, and gunfire cited as causes. Separate incidents in Lajat and between Inkhil and Sanamayn injured several, including a young worker collecting stones. In Deir ez-Zor's Mayadin area, a Syrian army soldier was killed and another wounded defusing former-regime ordnance. North Press also reported an armed attack on an internal security post in rural Hasakah, suspected to be ISIS-linked. Public reaction, mostly religious condolences on YouTube under reports of the deaths, showed grief but little organized anger, reflecting how normalized such incidents have become.

How people are reacting

Public comments under reports of soldier and civilian deaths were overwhelmingly religious condolences and prayers, showing resigned grief rather than demands for accountability.
