Syrian Coalition: The Regime’s Carpet Bombing of Jobar is a War Crime

Mohammad Khair Al-Wazir, member of the Syrian Coalition, said that the “Assad regime’s carpet-bombing of the neighborhood of Jobar in Damascus qualifies as a war crime that must not pass unpunished. The Assad regime’s ferocious bombardment campaign on this strategic district aims to check the Free Syrian Army’s advance on the heart of the capital. Jobar has been bombed by all types of conventional and non-traditional weapons, in addition to being the scene of a chemical weapon attack.” A rebel commander in Jobar said that the rebel factions operating in the district were unified under one banner commanded by the Unified Command in East Ghouta, a step that aims to tip the balance on the battlefield once rebels are supplied with sufficient support and anti-armor weapons.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
