One girl was reported killed in airstrikes on Hass, Idlib, July 4th.

Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that “the girl Hanaa Jamal al Sheikh Najib was killed as Syrian regime forces helicopters dropped barrel bombs on Hass village in Idlib governorate southern suburbs, on July 4th.”

Meanwhile other sources alleged “others injured”, with Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stating that “a female child was killed when barrel bombs were dropped by helicopters on Hass village – the death toll is expected to rise because there are people in a critical situation.”

Most sources attributed the attack to the Syrian regime using barrelbombs from helicopters. @SyrianCoalition named both Russian forces and the Syrian regime in reporting the incident.

Halab Today TV said one woman was killed and other wounded.

7al reported: “The reporter confirmed the fall of a child and wounding dozens of civilians as a result of those violent raids that also destroyed many properties.”

A Orient News team reported coming under fire from Assad forces in Hass on the same day.
