ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – Two people, including a woman, were injured on Monday in an artillery shelling by Syrian government forces on positions of Turkish-backed opposition factions, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA), on the outskirts of al-Atarib town, west of Aleppo.
A local source told North Press that “four artillery shells, fired by government forces, targeted positions of the Turkey-backed SNA factions on the eastern outskirts of al-Atarib.”
He said that the shelling resulted in the injury of “Afrah Blasm and a man in his thirties”, adding they were transferred to al-Atlal Hospital in Dana city, north of Idlib.
The source noted that the bombardment also caused damage to the residents’ properties and prompted shops owners to close fearing another round of shelling.
He pointed out that this shelling came in conjunction with a similar government shelling of the villages of al-Bara, Hafasraja, and Majdaliya, in southern Idlib, without any human injuries being reported so far.
