Yesterday, Saturday, Russian and Syrian regime warplanes carried out massacres that killed 15 civilians, including 8 children, in the southern countryside of Idlib.
Russian warplanes targeted a popular market in the town of Bylon in Jabal Al-Zawiya, killing 10 civilians, including 4 children, and wounding many others of the town’s residents.
Regime’s helicopters targeted the town of Abdita with barrel bombs, killing in a massacre 5 civilians, including 4 children and 1 woman.
Russian warplanes also targeted the town of Al-Barrah in Idlib southern countryside, killing 4 civilians, including 1 child, and wounding others.
Reports indicate that about 25,000 civilians have fled to the Syrian-Turkish border to escape the intense raids of Russian aircraft and regime flights.
The Syrian Human Rights Committee condemns these massacres and holds the Syrian regime and the Russian occupier responsible for the killing, destruction and displacement, and calls on the international community to take measures to stop the killing and destruction and take the necessary measures to hold those responsible to account.
