Syria remains engulfed in turmoil as the country faces intensified violence, with multiple regions experiencing deadly clashes, bombings, and displacement.
The following events mark a grim day in the ongoing conflict, highlighting the dire humanitarian and security crisis.
Regime Airstrike in Aleppo Sparks Outrage
The Syrian regime bombed the Gare de Baghdad neighborhood in Aleppo yesterday afternoon, targeting the Criminal Security headquarters.
The densely populated area suffered significant destruction, with reports of casualties still unconfirmed.
This attack has sparked widespread outrage, with Aleppo residents from various political backgrounds condemning the regime’s actions on social media.
Russian-Syrian Airstrikes Kill 25 Civilians in Idlib
In Idlib and its surrounding countryside, joint Russian-Syrian airstrikes claimed the lives of 25 civilians, including 14 children.
The White Helmets, a volunteer rescue group, documented attacks on Idlib city, Wadi Khaled camp in the north, Khan Shaykhun in the south, and Al-Safira in Aleppo’s southern countryside.
These strikes have intensified fears of a growing humanitarian crisis as displaced populations in these areas remain vulnerable to renewed violence.
Rebel Rockets Kill 8 Civilians in Hama
Rebel factions launched rocket attacks on Hama city, killing eight civilians, including two children.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the shells struck near a mosque, a school, and other populated areas.
This escalation underscores the growing civilian toll as both sides continue to target urban centers.
Displaced Syrian Kurds Flee Afrin Amid Renewed Attacks
Convoys of displaced Syrian Kurds from Afrin have begun arriving in Raqqa, fleeing renewed violence and shifting control agreements between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), factions of the Syrian National Army, and the Military Operations Department.
Human rights groups reported attacks on these convoys by National Army factions, resulting in the deaths of three civilians.
Over 200,000 individuals are reportedly on the move, marking another wave of displacement in the conflict-ridden region.
Opposition Advances in Hama Countryside
Rebel factions continue to make gains in the northern, eastern, and western Hama countryside, expanding their control from Qasr Abu Samra in the east to Qalaat al-Madiq in the west.
Opposition forces have launched missile and drone strikes on targets inside Hama city and near Masyaf.
Despite expectations of a counteroffensive, the Syrian regime has so far failed to halt the rebels’ advance, managing only to slow their progress.
Why It Matters
These developments reflect the worsening conditions across Syria, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
The escalating violence underscores the urgent need for a political resolution, as humanitarian groups struggle to provide aid to the displaced and affected populations.
As the conflict evolves, the situation on the ground remains precarious, with no clear path to peace in sight.
