35 Civilians Killed in Regime Air Raids on Rural Aleppo

The Syrian National said that the Assad regime still exploits the international anti-ISIS campaign to commit more massacres against the Syrian people, citing the death of 35 civilians, including women and children, in barrel bomb attacks launched by Assad’s air force on the towns of Al Bab and Kafr Hamra in rural Aleppo. Regime forces also conducted air raids on the town of Zamalka in rural Damascus, killing seven people and injuring dozens more. The Syrian Coalition stresses that “these criminal acts requires taking concrete measures by the international community to protect the unarmed civilians, and also raises the need to speed up the arming of the Free Syrian Army and the establishment of safe havens along Syria’s northern and southern borders.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
