Homs: 6 civilians killed in regime airstrikes on Waer neighborhood

  (Zaman Al Wasl)- 6 civilians on Friday have been killed in regime airstrikes on Waer neighborhood, last rebel stronghold in central Homs city, local activists said.

The aerial bombing on the besieged al-Waer neighborhood have killed 17 people in the past two days.

A fragile UN-brokered truce was reached in December 2015 between rebels and regime forces followed by a series of negotiations to free more than 7350 detainees and lift the siege in order the rebel fighters leave their last stronghold in Homs, the city that once dubbed as the capital of the Syrian revolution.

Civil Defense volunteer group that tracks regime violations in the northern countryside of Homs said 27 people, including 8 children and 6 women, had been killed in January.

Regime warplanes conducted 56 and the Russian warplanes conducted 12 raids.

President Bashar Assad rejected the creation of safe zones for refugees and displaced people in Syria, an idea supported by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a transcript from an interview with Yahoo News released Friday.

He signaled he would welcome cooperation with Washington in the fight against ISIS, however, as long as the United States took a "clear political position" on Syria's sovereignty and unity.

Syrian regime airstrikes and daily shelling have killed half million people and have displaced more than 12 more million from their homes since the revolution erupted in March 2011.
