(Zaman Al Wasl)- The 13-year-old Siba al-Daddo has died of a heart attack due to the regime bombing on her rebel-held area in northern Aleppo province, local activists said Monday.
The heavy aerial and ground bombardment on the town of al-Eys in the southern countryside of Aleppo was brutal to the extent of squeezing the heart of Syrian children, activists said.
Seba was a displaced girl who fled with her seven-member family from of Khan Sheikhoun, the town that was hit by chemical weapons in April 2018.
The regime media on Sunday has justified the heavy offnesive on rebel-held areas in Aleppo to the death of six civilians in a suspected Tahrir al-Sham rocket on Aleppo city, which the regime retook full control of at the end of 2016.
Pro-regime newspaper Al-Watan said Sunday on its Telegram messaging app that the "(regime) army has been responding to terrorist attacks... with salvos of rockets".
Fighters of Syria's former Al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) are deployed in the neighbouring province of Idlib and nearby regions including the western Aleppo countryside.
Russian and regime aircraft have ramped up strikes on Idlib and parts of Hama and Aleppo since the end of April, killing nearly 600 civilians.
Idlib and its surrounding areas are supposed to be protected from a massive regime offensive by a September 2018 deal between Russia and rebel backer Turkey.
Syria's war has killed more than 560,000 people and displaced millions since it started in 2011 with a brutal crackdown on anti-regime protests. (Zaman Al Wasl, Agencies)
