Storyline:

Russian warplanes killed at least seven people, including four children, in an attack Thursday on a poultry farm home to scores of displaced people Al-Jadida village in the Jisr Al-Shughur area, west of Idlib.

Rescue workers from the Civil Defense known as the “White Helmets” said Russian bombers launched four air strikes, with at least fourteen people wounded, in addition to the seven dead at the poultry farm who were all members of the same refugee family.

The assault on the area, considered the last stronghold of the Syrian opposition, comes after weeks of relative calm and follows a summit Tuesday where Russian, Turkish and Iranian leaders pledged to work to end the conflict in Syria.

Soundbite (Mustafa Al-Ali – a resident of the area):

“The brutal Russian warplanes hit the site here, where a displaced family lives from the Al-Ghab area. Displaced persons, who do not have homes, live under trees, were targeted by the brutal Russian planes, and caused the death of an entire family, including seven young unarmed children.”

Soundbite (Dored Hajj Hammoud – from the Civil Defense):

“”At six o’clock this morning, Friday, the twenty-second of July, the village of Al-Jadeeda in the countryside of Jisr Al-Shughur was targeted, with four air raids from aircraft, likely to be Russian aircraft. Rescur workers rushed to the scene to help those trapped from under the rubble. It was a difficult process due to the continued flight of reconnaissance and warplanes in the air, the final outcome was seven dead, in addition to fourteen wounded, displaced civilians from the village of Ziyadiyah to the village of Al-Jadida.
