ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – Four members of a single family were killed on Tuesday in artillery shelling by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) targeting residential areas in the Syrian government-held town of Urem al-Kubra, in western Aleppo.
A source told North Press that “the shelling was carried by HTS from positions near the village of Kafr Nouran, west of Aleppo.”
He added that the shelling targeted several neighborhoods and villages in the town of Urem al-Kubra, resulting in the death of four members of a single family and the injury of another person.
Among the victims were two girls, Ranim and Ghada al-Issa, and their mother Duha al-Naas. The shelling also killed the girls’ uncle and injured their father. He was taken by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to Urem Hospital.
The source pointed out that the Syrian government forces responded to the attack by shelling the HTS-held town of Darat Izza, west of Aleppo, which resulted in the injury of three people.
