Three children among 12 civilians killed by Assad warplanes in Idlib countryside

At least twelve civilians, including three children were killed and others were injured on Saturday (December 21) after Assad warplanes and Assad helicopters bombed Idlib countryside, Orient correspondent said.  

Assad warplanes bombed the popular market in the city of Saraqib in Idlib province, killing at least eight civilians, including two children and a woman and injuring 25 others, including women and children.

The warplanes also bombed on Saturday morning civilian homes in aldier al-Sharki village, killing three civilians, including a man and his wife.

A drone strike killed also on Saturday a child and injured his father in the surrounding of Bidama town.

The White Helmets posted pictures from the scene of the attack, confirming that the Assad warplanes conducted airstrikes to kill as many as possible of civilians.

On Sunday, Russian warplanes and Assad helicopters killed six civilians, including two girls and injured 14 others, including seven women and children in Idlib countryside. 

Assad-Russian warplanes have committed four massacres in Idlib countryside since the 15th of December, killing 61 civilians, including 18 children and 15 women and injuring 135 civilians, including 50 women and children, largely violating the de-escalation zone deal reached between Russia and Turkey.
