| [NPASYRIA] A person was killed and five others were injured on Saturday in shelling by Syrian government forces of the eastern countryside of the city of Atarib, west of Aleppo, north Syria. Local sources told North Press, “The shelling hit two houses on the outskirts of the city of Atarib in Aleppo western countryside, killing young man Mustafa al-Taleb and wounding five others, including a woman and a child.” He added that the houses’ residents come from the town of Termanin, nearly 45km north of Idlib, but that they fled from their town and settled in the eastern countryside of Atarib after their homes there took immense damage during the war. The source said that the city and its surroundings are repeatedly subjected to shelling by government forces, which are stationed 2km from the city, which pushes Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly al-Nusra Front) respond and shell the government positions from the city. The city of Atarib repeatedly witnesses mutual shelling between government forces on one hand and HTS or Turkish-backed opposition factions on the other, amid difficult living conditions, especially after the devastating earthquake that hit the region on February 6. |
