The rioters then advanced to the predominantly Christian quarters of Judeida and Saliba, located in the northern part of Aleppo, where they began to loot and pillage both churches and private homes.[14] Rioters attacked and killed approximately 20 Christians.[2] During the attacks, many Christians managed to find refuge among the caravanserais in the bazaars or were protected by their Muslim neighbors.[3] The rioting continued throughout the next day, October 18.
