(Zaman Al Wasl)- The Education Directorate in rebel-held Idlib province has suspended teaching in the schools for three days as the regime and Russian warplanes wage deadly aerial bombing that killed about 70 people in the past 4 days, including students.
The volunteer Civil Defense group said Monday that 6 children and two men had been killed in Russian air strikes on the northern neighborhood of Idlib city.
The group said 18 people were also killed in Russian strikes on the town of Maaret al-Numan, where an AFP photographer saw rescue workers and residents trying to pull survivors from rubble at a market.
The monitor reported two additional deaths, one in an earlier strike on Maaret al-Numan and another in Al-Naqir, also in Idlib.
It said six civilians, four of them children, had been killed in a regime barrel bomb attack on the town of Al-Tamanah in the same province.
Monday's strikes have also hit towns of Maaret al-Numan, Binnish, Taftanaz, Saraqeb, Maaraet al-Na’san, Koreen and Ram Hamdan. A woman reportedly killed in Taftanz, activist said.
On Sunday, at least 26 people killed in regime air strikes on the northern town of Kafranble town, Civil Defense said. The 4 strikes hit a crowded area next to an elementary school, the rescuing group said.
Russia, a staunch ally of Bashar Assad's government, began a military intervention in support of Damascus in September 2015.
Moscow says it is targeting "terrorists" and has dismissed reports of civilian casualties in its strikes.
