DAMASCUS: At least eight children were killed on Sunday by a rocket that hit a primary school in the government-held west of Aleppo city, state media said. The state news agency – SANA – said that at least 10 people had been killed and 59 left wounded by the rebel-forces’ rocket attack and added that the rebels also attacked other parts of the western-Aleppo – which is regularly targeted by the opposition forces that hold the eastern part of the divided city. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave a toll of eight children killed – saying they were all aged between six and 12. Shortly after the attack, witnesses report adults rushing children away from the building and trying to comfort crying infants.
