Jalal Suleiman - Aleppo countryside
The planes were absent and the booby-trapped boats were no longer safe in the north of Syria, despite the cessation of fighting and shelling. Residents are suffering from the fear of car bombs, amid suspicions that the Kurdish People's Protection Units are involved in a Turkish military operation in the region.
The area has seen numerous bloody explosions recently, including the bombing of a car bomb in the city of Azzaz near the Turkish border, killing a child and wounding more than thirty civilians.
One resident, Mohammed, told Al-Jazeera Net that police and ISF forces should strengthen their procedures, tighten searches for entrants and exits to the city, and use trained dogs to detect mined vehicles.
"The situation is intolerable, we are walking in the street and we are afraid, we are moving away from any car parked in the street for fear of being mined."
In addition to the bombing of A'zaz, a car bomb exploded in a market in the city of Al-Ra'i, resulting in civilian casualties, followed by another bicycle explosion in the Bab al-Bab market.
According to eyewitnesses who spoke to Al Jazeera Net, the car bomb exploded in the door near the Grand Mosque in the midst of a great crowd, and said that fear of the bombings became a daily concern for them.

Turkish operation
The bombings came after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a military operation east of the Euphrates in the next few days, prompting the people to question the involvement of Kurdish units in the attacks to destabilize the internal opposition areas in Aleppo countryside.
"We strongly condemn and condemn the brutal terrorist bombing that targeted the Great Badr Girls' School, the clinic and the nearby Al Ahli Hospital," the Education Office commented.
The Turkish-backed opposition areas in the northern and eastern parts of Aleppo are experiencing intermittent explosions of improvised explosive devices and booby-trapped vehicles, targeting most of the populated cities, especially Graplas and the nearby section of Kurdish control areas.
