30 killed in clashes, barrel bomb attacks by Syrian regime choppers

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Friday that about 30 civilians and Syrian opposition fighters were killed in clashes and barrel bomb attacks launched by the regime army.

"The helicopters dropped a barrel bomb on an area in the town of al- Bo Omar killing a man, his wife and 4 of their children," Sky News cited a statement by the SOHR as saying.

Meantime, Daesh militants carried out a raid on people’s houses in the town of al- Shheil. The group kidnapped eight people to unknown place.

In Idlib, clashes continued between al-Fateh army and regime forces in Ariha countryside after taking control on Ariha.

Also, the Syrian army attacked places in the Zawiya mount with barrel bombs, the observatory said.
