Syria - Artillery Strike

[SimoneFlen']

20th October 2021

Unknown persons inflicted an artillery strike on the settlement. Ariha in the province of Idlib. Thirteen people became victims of the shelling, incl. child. Among the dead were pro-Turkish militants, in particular one of the former field commanders of Akhrar Ash-Sham and several of his subordinates. Civilians also suffered.

Presumably, they were the target of the strike. The armed forces of the SAR were accused of the shelling.

Wednesday’s shelling from Syrian army outposts, which came shortly after a roadside bomb killed at least 14 military personnel in Damascus, fell on residential areas in the city in Idlib.

United Nations children’s agency UNICEF confirmed the death of four children in the bombardment.

“Today’s violence is yet another reminder that the war in Syria has not come to an end. Civilians, among them many children, keep bearing the brunt of a brutal decade-long conflict,” it said in a statement.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency said government forces and Iran-backed groups targeted a market place in the Ariha town centre.

Wednesday’s bombardment was one of the deadliest to rattle an Idlib truce deal that was reached in March 2020 and brokered by Turkey and Russia, the two main foreign brokers in the conflict.

The Idlib region is the last part of the country that has not fallen under government control, more than a decade into Syria’s war.

‘A retaliation’
Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr, reporting from Beirut, the capital of neighbouring Lebanon, said the bombardment was being interpreted by some as “a retaliation” for Wednesday’s attack in Damascus.


“This is being seen as some sort of a retaliation on the part of the regime even though this area (Idlib) comes under regular fire despite the ceasefire that has been in place since last year,” she said.

Joseph Daher, an affiliate professor with the Wartime and Post-Conflict in Syria project at the European University Institute, told Al Jazeera: “This is not the first time the government has not respected a ceasefire … The Syrian regime has made it very clear that it wants to take back all territories in Syria, and Idlib and this region has been bombarded for months.”

Among the names of the martyrs are several children and a teacher. They were crossing the bazaar on their way to school when they were killed in artillery fire.

~ The middle east is so boreschlocked on killing each other, that eventually they will exterminate each other, without help from anybody else. Good thing the U.S. is leaving them alone to their own de-vices.

Yup. And that's pretty much why most people come here.
