Syrian government bombs school in Aleppo says Observatory

The UK based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least 5 children were killed by Syrian government airstrikes that hit a school in rebel held areas in Aleppo on Sunday.

The Observatory, which tracks the war using a network of sources on the ground, said the death toll from the strike on Jamal al Qabani School would most probably increase, reports Reuters.

Responding to reports, a source from Syria’s army , noting that the army had stepped up attacks against rebels bombarded government-held residential areas in Aleppo on Saturday, said that the military had not targeted civilians.

The north-western city of Aleppo in Syria is a major frontline in the conflict between the Syrian government and rebel forces.
