Ten civilians were killed Thursday in regime airstrikes in Armanaz city in the northwest Idlib countryside near the Turkish border.
Activist Mouaz al-Abbas told al-Araby al-Jadeed the regime's warplanes fired missiles on a school in Armanaz, killing six children and four teachers. Many others were injured.
A large number of refugees from the countryside south of Idlib have settled in Armanaz, which is regularly attacked by the regime.
In Aleppo, clashes between the Syrian regime and opposition fighters continued around the Arial Intelligence building, northwest of the city, after opposition forces tried to regain control of the building, according to the Syrian Human Rights Observatory. The clashes broke out after opposition forces in Aleppo announced they rejected UN Special Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura’s initiative to stop the fighting in the city, allow for aid to be delivered, and pave the way for negotiations.
Meanwhile, a UN mission headed by Khawla Mattar, head of De Mistura's office in Damascus, visited Aleppo to try and implement the envoy's plan.
