Up to five civilians including two children died and 15 more were wounded in strikes by warplanes and helicopters on Tareek al Bab, according to local sources – though it was unclear whether Russian jets or Syrian regime helicopters were to blame.

There were multiple incidents in Aleppo on the 8th of July according to Syria1 News and Al Jazeera. Sources claimed that the airstrikes also hit Salheen and Bei’deen, killing and wounding civilians in both locations.

Al Jazeera reported that in Aleppo on the 8th of July “150 Syrian and Russian warplanes raids killed 23 civilians including children” in these three communities.

According to Majidkamel30, “the child Ahmad was rescued from under the rubble and is alive, but he still doesn’t know that he’s lost all of his family in Tareek Al Bab.”
