Terrorist attacks in Aleppo will not shake Syrians’ tenacity — Syrian information minister

Never-stopping shelling of Aleppo’s living quarters "only proves that terrorists and their patrons are suffering defeat in Syria," Syrian Minister of Information Omran al-Zoubi said in an interview with the Surya television channel.

Illegal armed groups "which rely on support from Turkey and Saudi Arabia have failed to crush The Syrian army," he said. "They have failed to bargain any political privileges in Geneva and that’s why they have got back to the tactic of bombardment of districts populated by civilians."

"It is a desperate attempt to shake tenacity of people in Aleppo and other cities. The conflict is entering a final stretch and I am calling on Aleppo’s residents to show endurance and consolidate around the armed forces," he said.

Tens of shells hit Aleppo’s al-Khalidiya, al-Hamdaniya, al-Masharika, Zahra and al-Sabil neighborhoods and the central Neil Street on Sunday. These districts are controlled by the Syrian army. According to police statistics, seven people were killed and dozens were wounded. In all, 16 civilians were killed and more than 60 were wounded in shelling in the past 24 hours.

Surya said government forces have managed to repel a Jabhat al-Nusra offensive in Al Rashidin in southwestern Aleppo.

  1. Après huit semaines de trêve, la Syrie a replongé dans la guerre avec 26 civils tués dimanche à Alep...

    Le président américain Barack Obama dit vouloir "rétablir" le cessez-le-feu entre régime et rebelles alors qu'aucun progrès ne se dessine dans les pourparlers de Genève.

    Au moins 26 civils ont été tués dimanche dans des bombardements du régime et des rebelles à Alep, la grande ville du nord de la Syrie, meurtrie par des violences pour la troisième journée consécutive.

    Depuis vendredi, au moins 63 civils ont été tués dans l'ancienne capitale économique syrienne, qui vit de nouveau au rythme des raids aériens et des tirs d'obus, après des semaines d'un calme relatif lié à la trêve initiée par les Etats-Unis et la Russie et entrée en vigueur le 27 février.

    Dimanche, des obus tirés par les insurgés contre les zones gouvernementales ont tué 10 civils, dont une femme et deux enfants, a indiqué une ONG, l'Observatoire syrien des droits de l'Homme (OSDH).....rtbf.be
