The Media Office of the Directorate of Disasters and Emergencies warned all residents in Syria about the dangers posed by falling military objects resulting from the ongoing regional escalation, describing them as “ticking bombs” that could explode at any moment.
In a statement to Enab Baladi on Thursday, March 5, the office urged citizens to strictly follow what it described as the “golden rule”: do not touch, do not approach, report immediately.
The directorate said that most field responses carried out by its teams over the past six days were concentrated in the governorates of Daraa (southern Syria), Quneitra (southern Syria near the occupied Golan Heights), and Rif Dimashq (the countryside surrounding Damascus), with additional incidents recorded in Suwayda (southern Syria), Deir Ezzor (eastern Syria), al-Qamishli (northeastern Syria), and the countryside of Jableh (a coastal city in Latakia governorate), as a result of aerial interceptions over Syrian skies.
Map of debris incidents
According to field monitoring by Enab Baladi correspondents and data from the Syrian Civil Defense, debris and direct impacts were recorded at 18 locations across Syria since the confrontations between Israel and Iran began on February 28.
In southern Syria, Enab Baladi documented the deaths of five people in Suwayda, amid conflicting accounts over the cause of the explosion, as well as the crash of a drone in the town of al-Ajami in Daraa.
Debris was also documented in al-Musayfirah, Nawa, Deir al-Adas, Inkhel, Sanam al-Hamam, and Shabraq.
Additional debris fell in al-Salam and Rafid in Quneitra.
In Damascus and its countryside, the al-Otaybah station went out of service following a direct strike. Shrapnel also fell near Bayt Jinn, Saydnaya, and Ain Tarma.
In northern, eastern, and coastal areas, a ballistic missile fell in the village of Qizlijah south of al-Qamishli in al-Hasakah governorate, while the Kharab al-Jir base in Rmeilan was targeted. A projectile also landed in the village of al-Futaykh in the countryside of Jableh in Latakia governorate.
Safety recommendations and guidance
The Directorate of Disasters and Emergencies expanded its warnings through Enab Baladi, calling on civilians to follow several safety measures to reduce potential casualties:
Handling unfamiliar objects: Do not approach any debris or unidentified metallic objects under any circumstances, and prevent children from gathering around crash sites.
Safe shelter: Take shelter inside buildings on lower floors when hearing explosions, and stay away from windows, exposed rooftops, and glass facades.
Reporting and documentation: Immediately report any suspicious objects or fires caused by falling debris to the relevant authorities. Do not attempt to move or transport debris under any circumstances.
Scrap metal risks: The ministry warned against collecting debris for sale, stressing that such remnants may contain detonators and highly explosive materials that could explode due to heat or physical contact.
Open confrontation
These dangers come as Syrians face mounting risks amid unprecedented regional escalation.
The US Central Command announced that more than 1,000 Iranian targets had been struck as part of the “Roar of the Lion” campaign launched last Saturday.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that operations would continue until their objectives are achieved. He also revealed that American soldiers had been killed in the fighting.
On the other side, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the start of the ninth wave of its attacks. These strikes targeted Israeli sites and US bases in Gulf countries, particularly in Dubai, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
