(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 10 people, mostly family members, were killed in the battleground city of Aleppo as regime warplanes wage fierce aerial campaign on opposition-held Aleppo after they broke the siege, local reporter said Sunday.
Most eastern neighborhood of Aleppo came under intense air attack from pro-regime forces on Sunday trying to repel the advance which also cut regime-held Aleppo's main supply route.
The ten victims lost their lives in barrel bombs attack on Baeideen neighborhood.
The Syrian resistance forces have taken most of a large regime military complex southwest of Aleppo city in a major offensive begun on Friday to break a month-long siege and are now attacking further into government held territory.
The surprise advance in Ramousah allowed fighters from opposition areas in western Syria to break through a strip of government-controlled territory on Saturday and connect with fighters in the encircled sector of eastern Aleppo.
But fierce fighting and continuous Russian and Syrian air strikes in and around the Ramousah area mean no safe passage for besieged east Aleppo residents has been established, activists and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, formerly the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, posted pictures of rows of armored vehicles, munitions, howitzers, rockets and trucks.
The rebel front line is now pushing northwest into western held Aleppo on the edges of the Hamdaniya neighborhood and a housing estate called the 3,000 project, rebels and the Observatory said.
North of Hamdaniya in the direction of the rebels' push is another large regime military complex, the Assad military engineering academy.
In eastern Aleppo, despite some scenes of celebration as fighters broke the siege yesterday, the lack of a safe route out means conditions for residents remain unchanged.
Three vans of vegetables crossed into east Aleppo, the Observatory said, but this was a symbolic gesture and the corridor is too dangerous for civilians or significant supplies to pass.
In Idlib province, an airstrike on a hospital in northwestern Syria on Saturday killed 10 people, including children, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The hospital, in the town of Meles, is about 15 km from Idlib city in rebel-held Idlib province.
Syrian government and allied Russian military planes operate in Syria but it is not known which aircraft carried out the strike, the Observatory said.
"There were 43 attacks on healthcare facilities in Syria in July - more than one attack every day," a SAMS statement said.(With Reuters)
