The sources pointed out that the aggression targeted dozens of families while trying to escape from the areas where ISIL terrorists are positioned.

According to the sources, the death toll is likely to rise as most of the wounded sustained serious injuries.

The US-led coalition regularly carries out airstrikes and commits massacres under the pretext the fight against ISIL terrorist group.

Since it was illegally formed outside the jurisdiction of the UN Security Council in August 2014, under the pretext of fighting ISIL , the coalition has been committing massacres against innocent civilians, killing hundreds of people,  injuring others and destroying infrastructure.

Syria has repeatedly demanded,  through dozens of letters to the UN Secretary General and UNSC President,  a serious and an immediate action to stop such attacks and massacres and to take necessary measures to set an independent international mechanism to probe into these crimes.
