A family, including a mother and two children, was martyred in Aleppo following rocket shelling by HTS that targeted their house, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

A SANA correspondent reported that the terrorists, operating from their positions in Aleppo's western countryside, targeted liberated areas in the southwestern countryside of Aleppo. One of the shells landed in Tadil village, within Urum Al-Kubrah town.

The devastating incident claimed the lives of four individuals. Two children, their mother, and their uncle were martyred, while the father was severely injured.

The assault also resulted in substantial material damage to residential properties and other structures.

HTS continues to launch attacks on residential neighborhoods in Aleppo and its surrounding regions, causing numerous casualties among innocent civilians. Additionally, public and private properties have suffered extensive damage as a result of these acts of violence.

Last week, The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that the armed forces, in cooperation with the Russian forces, conducted a decisive airstrike against the fortified headquarters of terrorist organizations in the Jabal Al-Arbaeen area in the Idlib countryside.

The Ministry of Defense said the airstrike comes in response to the "recurrent attacks carried out by terrorist organizations on civilians in safe residential areas in Hama countryside."

The Ministry added in its statement that the strikes targeted storage piles of weapons, ammunition, guidance tools, drones, and espionage equipment, killing and wounding tens of terrorists in the process.
