Syria bombing kills 23 civilians near Damascus
BEIRUT: Syrian regime air strikes and artillery fire killed 23 civilians on Sunday across the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta region outside the capital Damascus, a monitor said.The deaths come despite the area falling within a so-called ?de-escalation zone? put in place under a deal between government allies Russia and Iran and rebel backer Turkey.
Eastern Ghouta is already in the grip of a humanitarian crisis caused by a crushing regime siege of the area since 2013 that has caused severe food and medical shortages.On Sunday, government air strikes on the areas of Mesraba and Madira killed 21 civilians, while artillery fire on the town of Douma killed another two civilians, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said. ?The toll could rise further because of the number of wounded people in a serious condition,? said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman.Among the dead were four children, the Observatory said.Regime bombardment of Eastern Ghouta in the last two weeks has killed more than 100 people, according to the Observatory. Rebels have also fired from the region into Damascus, killing several people.Russian air strikes killed 34 civilians, among them 15 children, in a village held by the Islamic State group in Syria?s eastern Deir Ezzor province, a monitor said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes hit the village of Al-Shafah, on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, in the early hours of Sunday morning. The Observatory relies on a network of sources inside Syria, and says it determines whose planes carry out raids according to type, location, flight patterns and munitions used. Six Russian Tu-22M3 long-range bombers hit Islamic State targets in Syria?s Deir al-Zor province on Sunday, Russian news agencies cited Russia?s Defence Ministry confirmed. The bombers that flew from an airfield in Russia hit ?terrorist strongholds? in the valley of the Euphrates river, the agencies reported. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Syria bombing kills 23 civilians near Damascus || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
