ISIS that has recently became active in Turkish-occupied areas in northern Aleppo may be behind this attack. Kurdish forces may also be responsible as they are known for orchestrating attacks in Turkish-occupied areas.
Some activists believe that corrupt Turkish-backed militants are facilitating such attacks for Kurdish forces or ISIS in exchange for money. The lack of any accountability in Turkish-occupied areas indicate that this may be true. In most cases, the perpetrators are not revealed.
