Jabhat Al-Nusra And Ahrar Al-Sham Terrorists’ Shelling Kills, Injuries Scores In Syria’s Aleppo
MEP: Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham terrorist units have once again bombarded Syria’s Aleppo residential areas in which more than 20 civilians were killed, RT reported citing the Russian center for reconciliation of opposing sides in the country.
In addition, scores of others sustained injuries following shelling.
The bombings took place in the Muhafaza and Meydan neighborhoods of Aleppo as residential and administrative buildings suffered the brunt of the terrorist onslaught on Tuesday, according to the source.
“More than 20 people were killed, and around 40 suffered injuries of various degrees as a result of terrorist shelling of the shopping mall and adjacent shops,” a statement by the Russian center for reconciliation of opposing sides said.
Some mortars targeted and destroyed a busy shopping area, killing dozens of people.
The Russian side also notes that terrorist fighters are “taking advantage” of the ceasefire regime and were able to infiltrate and take safe haven in the same neighborhoods of the city where the so-called “moderate opposition” is located. Because the so-called moderate opposition is not being targeted under the US-Russian brokered truce, the jihadists, the Center notes, were able to “regroup” and replenish arms and ammunition before commencing “active” fighting.
Some 136 municipalities are now officially taking part in the truce after a total of 60 fighting cells signed the ceasefire regime. The February agreement does not include Al-Nusra Front and Daesh (ISIS/ISIL).
