A girl lost her life and her brother was injured after they were shot by unknown assailants in rural Idlib on Tuesday, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

The girl and her brother were in a car on the Dana–Termanin road when they were fired upon by unknown individuals who set up a checkpoint between the towns of Termanin and Arhab in rural Aleppo, targeting their vehicle directly.

The official agency reported that the town of Termanin witnessed a wide security alert and the deployment of internal security forces following the girl’s death and her brother’s survival.

In a related context, the town of Al-Suboura in eastern rural Hama experienced a heavy security presence last Saturday following a shooting incident that resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to three others of varying severity.

The governorate added in a social media post that security patrols conducted regular rounds to secure streets and vital neighborhoods and to increase readiness, in parallel with gathering evidence and following up on investigations.
