A/HRC/30/48 launched an attack on Kobane, killing approximately 250 civilians. These attacks are detailed in Section H below. 2. Aerial bombardments and shelling 33. The Government has continued aerially bombarding civilian-inhabited localities. Areas of Aleppo, Dayr Az-Zawr, Idlib, Damascus and Dara’a have come under intense attack, leading to widespread civilian casualties. 34. Some attacks were directed towards civilian gathering places, specifically markets and transport hubs. In early February, bus gathering points in Baidin and Al-Hayderia neighbourhoods of Aleppo city were hit with barrel bombs, killing civilians. In May, the Government launched an airstrike on Jisr Al-Haj, where buses and taxis collect passengers in Aleppo city. Approximately 40 people were killed. The majority were civilians, including several children. 35. In May, Government helicopters dropped multiple-barrel bombs on three markets in ISIS-controlled Al-Bab, in northern Aleppo. ISIS was not present inside the markets, which sold vegetables, women’s clothing and agricultural equipment, respectively. In early June, a Government helicopter dropped a barrel bomb on Jib Al-Quba food market, in Aleppo city. The attack resulted in civilian casualties. There were no military objectives in the market. 36. Anti-Government armed groups have shelled civilian-inhabited towns and neighbourhoods in Aleppo, Damascus, Idlib and Latakia. Government-controlled neighbourhoods in Aleppo city remain under regular bombardment from armed groups. In early May, an unidentified armed group fired a rocket into Al-Mougambo neighbourhood, killing nine civilians. Armed groups periodically cut water to Government-held Aleppo city. 37. Anti-Government armed groups continue to fire rockets and mortars into the Jaramana and Sayda Zeinab neighbourhoods of Damascus city, resulting in many civilian casualties. Prior to the ground attacks in Dara’a and Idlib, anti-Government armed groups and Jabhat Al-Nusra indiscriminately shelled villages as they advanced. 38. In April, the international coalition launched an airstrike on Beir Mihli (Aleppo), located along a frontline between the YPG and ISIS. It remains unclear what military objectives were present in the village, but the number of civilian casualties – reportedly over 60 people – is of serious concern. Similarly, in a coalition airstrike on Dali Hasan (Aleppo) in June, a family – including five children – was killed. The military objective is still to be clarified. 39. Investigations are continuing into the alleged use of chemical weapons, in the form of chlorine and/or phosgene gas, in Sermin, Saraqib, Qmenas and Binish, as well as other towns and villages in Idlib in March and April. B. Fighting-age men 40. While few civilians have been left unscathed by the continuing brutality of the Syrian war, it is civilian men who make up the largest community of victims. Civilian men perceived to be of fighting age have been targeted by warring parties during ground 7
