The regime forces deliberately burn more crops by renewed shelling raising to about 410, the number of shells which they fired on both adjacent countryside of Hama and Idlib in 15 days

Hama Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the property of citizens and agricultural crops in the area of Al-Najiyeh which is located in the western countryside of Jisr Al-Shughur city, are still on fire, as a result of the artillery shelling by the regime forces on places in the area, as a part of renewed deliberate processes to burn the citizens’ agricultural crops, raising to more than 409, the number of artillery and rocket shells launched by the regime forces in 15 days of shelling escalation along with their loyal gunmen, on the northern countryside of Hama, the southern and western countryside of Idlib, and Sahl al-Ghab northwest of Hama.

And the Syrian Observatory published in the past days that the reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the regime forces and gunmen loyal to them tend to target agricultural lands and crops, in the vicinity of the towns, cities and villages which are located in the southern sector of Idlib, Shal Al-Ghab and the north of Hama, where the fires burned hundreds of hectares of agricultural land, and the shelling was concentrated more on the areas of Al-Lataminah and Kafr Zita, as a part of the regime forces’ intention with their allies to burn the corps in these areas, while sources informed the SOHR that the regime forces tend, on the contact lines between them and the factions’ controlled areas, to threaten the locals to burn their crops, if they don’t pay a royalty of about 1000 Syrian Pounds for each 1000 square km of agricultural land belonging to them, where gunmen loyal to the regime force burned an agricultural land few days ago while two women were inside it, as a revenge for the crop owners’ refuse to pay the royalty, which resulted in the burning of the two women in their agricultural crops, where the SOHR published yesterday that two women were killed after fighters loyal to the regime burned their agricultural crop in Jalma area, located in the northwestern countryside of Hama, and the locals confirmed that the gunmen loyal to the regime burned the crop when the 2 women were inside it; under the pretext of the crop owners’ refuse to pay money in exchange for allowing them to harvest their land in the village, which caused the crop to be burned as well as the immediate death of both women and the burn of their bodies.
