As the conflict in Syria escalates, Russian and Syrian warplanes have significantly intensified their airstrikes against rebel-held territories, particularly in Aleppo and Idlib. In recent days, these bombardments have reportedly resulted in substantial casualties among both rebels and civilians. An airstrike in Aleppo killed at least 19 and injured dozens more, while a separate incident hit a university hospital, claiming multiple lives. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights noted that the recent attacks have left hundreds dead overall, with the ongoing rebel offensive prompting a fierce counter-offensive from the Assad regime. The renewed military escalation underscores the already dire humanitarian situation, as critical infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, has also been severely impacted by the relentless airstrikes.
