Army Command Refutes Media Claims on Targeting a Camp for the Displaced in Idleb Countryside

DAMASCUS –The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces dismissed as” untrue” news reports broadcast by some media outlets that the Syrian Army targeted a camp for displaced people in Idleb countryside, according to the state news agency SANA.

” News circulated by some anti-Syria media outlets claiming that the Syrian Army’s air force has targeted a camp for the displaced people in Idleb countryside are completely baseless,” the Army Command said in statement on Friday.

 ” We have certain information that some terrorist groups have recently started, upon directives by known foreign sides, to hit civilian targets deliberately to cause large causalities among civilians and blame the Syrian Arab Army of these acts,” the statement added.

The statement pointed out that hitting civilian targets by the terrorists aims at “diverting attention away from the crimes committed by the terrorist groups against the Syrians, at using this escalation as a leverage in the political track and at covering the state of turmoil, despair and failure caused to the terrorists and their supporters as a result of the victories achieved by the Syrian Arab army in its war on terrorism.
