BEIRUT: Seven children in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo and another four in Homs in the center were among 17 civilians killed in air raids on Tuesday, a watchdog said.
The deaths in Homs come as troops pressed an offensive against remaining rebel areas there, while in Aleppo province, the raid comes exactly a year into the rebel takeover of the targeted town of Anadan.
Meanwhile, rebels downed a military helicopter with a ground-to-air missile near Damascus airport and a car bomb killed a leading Kurdish politician in the northeast, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
“The number of people killed in a regime air raid on Anadan has risen to seven children and three women,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Activists and the Observatory said the strike targeted a mosque in Anadan, where the women and children were attending a religious studies class.
“The strike comes exactly a year on from the day rebels took control of Anadan,” said the Observatory.
Earlier on Tuesday, a family of seven that had fled the army’s recapture of Khaldiyeh in Homs city was also killed in a raid.
Four children were among the dead in the bombardment of Teir Maaleh village, the Britain-based Observatory said.
Elsewhere, rebels used a “sophisticated” ground-to-air missile to down the helicopter near Damascus International Airport, the watchdog added.
