The Assad regime and its allies persist in committing crimes against civilians in liberated areas through airstrikes and rocket attacks. This escalation coincides with the liberation of Hama city and the advance of opposition fighters toward Homs. The opposition offensive aims to free the city from Assad’s forces and allied terrorist militias while ensuring the return of displaced persons to their homes.
According to a report released by the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) on Wednesday, which covers the period from November 27 to December 3, a total of 149 civilians, including 35 children and 16 women, were killed in northwestern Syria.
The SNHR attributed the deaths of 105 civilians, including 33 children and 13 women, to the Assad regime. Additionally, the PYD terrorist militia was responsible for 27 civilian deaths, while Russian forces killed eight civilians, including two children and two women.
The report revealed that regime forces targeted 30 vital facilities, including schools, universities, hospitals, and camps, while Russian forces attacked at least five other vital sites.
The report also noted that regime forces have resumed the use of internationally banned cluster munitions and barrel bombs.
The Syrian Civil Defense reported that airstrikes and shelling by the Assad regime, Russia, and allied militias on Idlib city and its countryside, as well as the countryside of Aleppo and Hama, from November 27 to December 4, resulted in 94 civilian deaths. The victims included 39 children, 12 women, and 43 men, with 320 civilians injured, including 127 children and 80 women.
The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) condemned the attacks, emphasizing that the bombardment of civilians in northern Syria by the Assad regime and its allies exacerbates instability in the region. The SOC urged the international community to activate the political process and ensure the full and strict implementation of UN Resolution 2254 to achieve a political solution that fulfills the Syrian people’s aspirations for freedom, dignity, and democratic transition.
