Activists said the shelling also severely damaged infrastructure and destroyed civilian property”.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights added more detail, reporting that “suspected Russian warplanes fired two missiles near Walid Sha’aban High School in the al Shamali neighborhood in Jisr al Shoghour”.
