Activists reported the death of three civilians and dozens critically injured, including women and children, as Assad terrorists targeted the residential areas of these neighborhoods using surface-to-surface (Fiel) missiles.

The Syria Civil Defense teams rushed to recover the bodies from under the rubble and transport the injured to the nearest medical points. 

As the injured poured into al-Rajja hospital in Barzeh neighborhood, its management sent out urgent calls for blood donations, specifically those with blood type B+. 

A woman was reported dead and several civilians injured after Assad terrorists fired bullets at Tishreen neighborhood from the Tishreen Military Hospital in which they are stationed. Meanwhile, Assad terrorists shelled the land farms located between the neighborhoods of Barzeh and Tishreen.

The Assad regime’s military escalation comes in light of its failure in recent weeks to break into the cities and towns of eastern Ghouta, suffering great losses in lives and materiel.
