Jineology Academy documents execution of 18 civilians and killing of 18 children

The Academy of Jineology (Women's Studies) in Rojava prepared two reports titled "War Crimes in North and East Syria" and "Some Cases of War Crimes Against Children in North and East Syria." These reports documented, with photos and videos, the violations committed by factions affiliated with the Syrian Interim Government and supported by the Turkish occupation state.

The documented reports include: “Deliberate attacks on civilians, torture, the killing of civilians, including children and women, mutilation and burning of corpses, destruction of martyrs’ shrines, execution of civilians and members of the armed forces, the removal of a young man’s heart and eyes, the bombing of hospitals and mosques where people had gathered, the cutting off of women’s hair, throwing the bodies of female fighters from heights, looting and theft, displacement of residents, bombing by Turkish state drones, and the abduction of civilians.”

The documents were collected between January 6 and 11, 2026, during attacks on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods of Aleppo, and between January 17 and 26, 2026, during attacks on Deir Hafer, Tabqa, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Kobani.

Video and photographic evidence documented the execution and killing of 18 civilians in Aleppo by armed factions, the killing of a family of six on the Raqqa-Deir ez-Zor road, the throwing of a woman's body from a high place, the cutting off of another woman's braid, taking out of a man's heart and eyes, and the capture and humiliation of 294 civilians.

Additionally, Turkish warplanes and factions of the Syrian Interim Government killed seven civilians and wounded four others in Kobani

In this context, Liman Sheikho, a member of the Jineology Academy in Rojava, spoke to ANHA agency about the content of the reports prepared by the academy, noting that the war in Syria is not new and that attacks against the Kurds are ongoing.

She added: "As the Jineology Academy, we wanted to document the violations that occurred and deliver them to relevant institutions and organizations. In the attacks that have continued since January 6, 2026, civilians, hospitals, mosques, and homes have been targeted. These attacks were carried out with weapons belonging to the Turkish state, which proves external support. We have documented this with 100% conclusive footage and photographs."

Children Killed

According to the two reports, in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods of Aleppo, nine children were killed and 11 others were injured. The children killed were: Noura Rasho (10 years old), Amin Rasho (8 years old), Mira Rasho (3 years old), Khurshid Omar (13 years old), Sabri Muhammad Abdul Qader (8 years old), Muhammad Abdul Rahman Barakat (8 months old), and two 10-year-old children whose names were not known. Those injured were: Ivan Abdo (2 years old), Sham Dalou (3 years old), Hamouda Muhammad Bakr (13 years old), Aslan Bakr (15 years old), Jihad Saleh Nasser (15 years old), Ahmad Badr al-Din Zeidan (15 years old), Abdullah Hassan Muhammad (8 years old), Hala Hamza (13 years old), Wiam (6 years old), Rahaf Hamza (6 years old), and Rajab Abdul Fattah (13 years old). Many other children in the two neighborhoods were also missing, and due to the ongoing attacks, their numbers and names could not be determined. The baby girl, Akhin, who is only 20 days old, had her parents killed.

In Raqqa, Hasaka, and Kobani, nine children were killed in attacks by the Syrian Interim Government and the Turkish state. In Raqqa, a ten-year-old boy whose name is unknown was killed. In Hasaka, 10-year-old Daham al-Rasho was killed. On the Kobani-Raqqa road, fifteen-year-old Mahmoud Musi al-Koulk was killed. In the Kobani countryside, the following were killed: Sabreen Ahmed Alawi (8 years old), Judi Ahmed Alawi (14 years old), Muhammad Ahmed Alawi (10 years old), Ibrahim Ahmed Alawi (5 years old), Jaafar Muhammad Sheikh Bozan (3 years old), and Solin Muhammad Sheikh Bozan (7 years old).

By killing children, they wanted to say: “We will kill your future.”

Liman Sheikho drew attention to the killing of children by factions of the Turkish-backed Syrian Interim Government, saying: “By targeting children, they sent a message to the people: We will kill your future too, so don’t think you will continue your culture and your existence. Because children are the culture that sustains society.”

Sheikho explained that they prepared the reports in seven languages ​​(Kurdish, Arabic, English, German, French, and others) and will share them with women’s movements, women’s and children’s rights organizations, and relevant international institutions.
