Assad’s Warplanes Kill Four Children in Rural Dara’a on Children’s Day

Activists said that nine civilians, including four children, were killed and dozens wounded in barrel bomb attacks on the town of Al Harra in rural Dara’a. Mohammed Qaddah, vice president of the Syrian Coalition, described last month the regime forces’ barbaric bombardment of the town of Al Harra in rural Dara’a as a “vengeful retaliation to the fall of the town to rebels who inflicted heavy losses on regime forces that were stationed in the town,” following a massacre in which 18 civilians at least were killed and dozens wounded as a result of barrel bomb attacks and rocket shelling on the town. “The massacre came few days after the FSA’s capture of the strategic Al Harra hilltop and the nearby town.” The Syrian Coalition said earlier that the FSA’s capture of Al Harra is a major landmark in the course of the Syrian revolution, calling on the international community to shoulder its responsibility and save Syrian civilians from the terrorism of the Assad regime through the imposition of a no-fly to neutralize Assad’s air force and put an end to the barrel bomb attack on civilians.
