(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 19 civilians, including 6 children and a woman, have been killed in the 4-day-old offensive on al-Waer neighborhood of Homs city, local activists said as regime tightens the noose on the residents of last rebel stronghold in the central city.
6 civilians on Friday have been killed in regime airstrikes on Waer after Friday’s Prayer. Ten raids have been conducted in the past four days, activists said.
The aerial bombing has also left 80 people wounded, 16 of them in critical condition.
Local monitor groups said the regime pounded the besieged neighborhood with 79 mortar shells, 27 rockets, 55 tank shells.
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.
