Amid scary silence of the international community, al- Assad regime commits 3 massacres in Idlib

SOHR could document the death of 73 civilians at least, including 19 children and 11 women, due to aerial attack launched by al- Assad aircrafts and helicopters on 3 villages in the countryside of Idlib in the last 24 hours, where SOHR documented the death of 53 civilians, including 8 children and 9 women, due to aerial bombardment on the town of Darkoush located on the border with the Sanjak of Alexandretta, while 9 civilians, including 4 children and a woman, died due to aerial attack on the village of Josef in al- Zaweyi Mountain and 8 civilians, including 4 children at least, killed by dropping barrel bombs on the village of Alloj. Meanwhile, the warplanes carried out raids on the village of al- Rami and town of Kensafra killing a child from al- Rami as well as a man and his wife in Kensafra.

 

The Syria regime has escalated its shelling on the civilian areas in the countryside of Idlib yesterday after the Nusra Front, Ahrar al- Sham Movement, Ansar al- Din Front, Jund al- Sham, al- Forqan brigades and Ajnad al- Sham have seized the city of Jeser al- Shagour.

 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights re- calls upon the Security Council to transfer the file of war crimes and crimes against humanity to the international specialized courts in order to sentence all those who share in committing these massacres, primarily Bashar al- Assad, the colonel Soheil al- Hasan, the leader of the campaign of barrel bombs and intensive air raids, and all who participate in killing Syrians and violating their rights.
