Hama: woman killed in regime airstrikes on northern countryside

(Zaman Al Wasl)- A woman has been killed in regime aerial bombing on the northern countryside of Hama province, despite a fragile two-week-old truce, activists said Thursday.

The strikes targeted the town of Alltamneh and the villages of al-Zallaqiyat, Qastal and Rasm al-Abed, residents said.

In its turn, Jaish al-Izza, key rebel group in central Syria, said unidentified number regime soldiers were killed on Thursday in a TOW missile attack hit an army vehicle near Mahardah west of Hama.
 
In northern Aleppo province, at least 8 civilians, including 4 children,  have been killed in Russian air strikes hit the western countryside, local reporter said Thursday.

The Russian warplanes hit an apartment
complex in Babka town west of Aleppo city.

10 more people have been wounded as rescuing groups keep looking for survivors under the rubble. 
It said the death toll could rise because a number of the wounded were in serious condition.

In neighboring Idlib province, at least 22  members of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham were killed in airstrikes over the past 24 hours, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Some were carried out by regime aircraft, others by aircraft of the U.S.-led coalition, the Britain-based activist group said.

Two of the group's commanders were among 16 fighters killed in a coalition strike on their convoy Wednesday, the Observatory said.

Earlier, three allied extremists were killed in a regime raid.




Later, three Fateh al-Sham fighters were killed in apparent drone strikes.

The Observatory says it determines whose planes carry out raids according to their type, location, flight patterns and the munitions involved.

The strikes came despite a nationwide truce brokered by government supporter Russia and rebel backer Turkey that has been in place since December 30.

The truce does not include Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as Al-Nusra Front, or ISIS.

The ceasefire has brought quiet to large parts of the country, but sporadic violence has continued in some areas, threatening the fragile agreement.

Idlib province is largely controlled by a powerful alliance of opposition forces known as the Army of Conquest, which is dominated by Fateh al-Sham.

 
More than 430,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began with anti-regime protests in March 2011.
