Reported on Feb. 9, 2013, this murky massacre is said, by activists, to have occurred in Jneid (Junaid, etc.), a village east of Aleppo, near Al-Safira. A massive army force sent to reinforce a nearby position reportedly took a side trip to this town and took the lives of between 18 and 40 or more civilians, including women and children. One particular family was targeted, by reports, and others mention that the victims were burned.
