The explosive barrel bomb launched by a Syrian Army aviation plane on a school in the village of Tal Lilan in rural Al-Hassaka, resulted in the killing of at least 20 children.
The village is under control of the pro-regime PKK, which makes the targeting of the school one of the rare cases, where the Syrian army targets an area under their control with aerial bombardment.
The massacre today committed by aviation planes in the school in Tal Lilan, appears in a series of attacks by the army on schools, where 16 children were killed in a school in al-Qabun in Damascus on 5/11/2014 in the targeting of the school with missiles. Additionally Karnaz primary school in rural Hama has also seen the killing of at least ten children on 12/11/2014 after targeted by missiles.
