On August 3rd 2016, Syrian News Desk reported that “Six civilians killed most of them are truck drivers and others injured, after Russian warplanes targeted a convoy of cars and trucks carrying food and detergent, near the city of al Atareb which is under the control of the opposition of the western Aleppo countryside.”
According to Zamanalwsal, more than 20 civilians were wounded in the attack. Furthermore, it reported that the convoy was traveling from the direction of Turkey.
Syrian Press Center added that including the attack on the convoy, displaced people camps in the same vicinity were raided. It said that, “warplanes carried out targeted airstrikes with missiles and cluster bombs on a camp for displaced people near the town of Atareb”.

This reportedly resulted in the death of two children, the injury of 30 other people, and the burning of tents.
