Russian warplanes attack Syria field hospital, kill 30
2016-04-28
[AA.TR] At least 30 people were killed and 62 others were maimed Wednesday when a Russian warplane targeted a field hospital in Aleppo’s al-Sokkari neighborhood, a civil defense official said.

Ibrahim Hajj Ibrahim, a civil defense official in Aleppo, told Anadolu Agency that the attack on Quds hospital left scores dead and injured, including medical staff, women and kiddies. He feared the corpse count may rise further.

Ibrahim added that the rescue teams who rushed to the attacked hospital were also targeted in another air raid.

On Tuesday, at least 18 people were killed and more than a dozen others injured in Russian Arclight airstrikes in Syria’s northern Aleppo province, according to a Syrian civil defense official.

#3  Great demonstration of the differential strategy.

Surgical 'knock first' strategic targeting to minimize collateral damage supporting COIN vs. open strikes against soft targets.

#2  Women and kiddies at a Quds field hospital?

Color me skeptical. Possibly human shields...
