In a major civilian harm incident, up to 30 civilians including seven children and three women (many of whom were from the same family) died and up to 50 more were wounded in an alleged Assad regime or Iranian strike on Qah refugee camp, near the Syrian-Turkish border, according to multiple local sources.
The Step News Agency reported: “Iranian militia based in the Iranian base of Jabal Azzan in the southern Aleppo countryside on Wednesday targeted a camp for displaced people on the outskirts of Qah on Wednesday [Nov 20th]
“The reporter cluster land-to-ground missiles shelled the area, striking a gathering of displaced persons tents. This resulted in the deaths of seven civilian and injury of dozens more in an initial count”.
@IdlibPlus also blamed “Iranian militias”, while Nors For Studies said that a huge explosion “was caused by cluster munitions fired from al-Assad and Iran militia”.
Other sources, including the Smart News Agency, blamed the regime. According to Smart, “Dozens of civilians were killed and wounded Wednesday [Nov 20th] in rocket shelling by Syrian regime forces on a camp for displaced people in Qah village (50 km north of Idlib) near the Syrian-Turkish border.”
@abuhuzaifa_ tweeted that a Russian missile was fired by Iranian militia. However, the Syrian Human Rights Committee blamed the Russians for the incident reporting on Dec 11th 2019 that “In Idlib Governorate, a child died from wounds caused by a previous Russian bombing targeting the Qah border camp on the Syrian-Turkish border.”
Sources said that “large fires” broke out in tents.
