Attack by Assad regime forces injures 5 civilians in northern Syria
Regime forces violate cease-fire in Aleppo
By Mehmet Burak Karacaoglu
IDLIB, Syria (AA) – At least five civilians were injured in an attack carried out by Assad regime forces in northern Syria, a civil defense agency said Sunday.
The regime forces, including the army and Iranian-backed foreign terrorist groups, violated a cease-fire by attacking the village of Ebzimo in Aleppo province with ground-to-ground weapons.
The White Helmets civil defense group said five civilians were injured and taken to a nearby hospital.
In September 2018, Türkiye and Russia agreed to turn Idlib into a de-escalation zone where acts of aggression are expressly prohibited.
The Syrian regime and its allies, however, have consistently broken the terms of the cease-fire, launching frequent attacks inside the zone.
Syria has been embroiled in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and more than 10 million others displaced, according to UN estimates.
