TerroristRebel fire on west Aleppo kills 7 children

At least seven children were killed on Sunday by "rebel" rocket fire that hit a school in the government-held west of Aleppo city, state media said.


State television initially gave a toll of 10 killed, but the official SANA news agency subsequently said eight people had been killed, seven children and a woman.

The rocket fire hit a school in the Furqan neighborhood, and also injured at least 32 people, SANA said, citing a police source.

The news agency reported additional rebel fire on other parts of west Aleppo, which is regularly targeted by the opposition forces that hold the eastern part of the city.

The [so-called] "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", a Britain-based monitor of the war, also reported the deaths of seven children in "rebel" fire.
