On January 30, 2025, Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a report condemning an apparent war crime committed by Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) forces in northeast Syria. The incident involved a drone strike on January 18, 2025, targeting a Kurdish Red Crescent ambulance that was transporting a civilian wounded in an earlier attack on protesters at Tishreen Dam. The strike resulted in the deaths of six civilians, including a well-known Kurdish actor, and injured at least 16 others. HRW emphasized that attacking an ambulance carrying wounded civilians on an open road is unlikely to be accidental and constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law. The organization called for a thorough investigation into the incident and urged accountability for those responsible.
