At least 65 people were killed Tuesday in a regime barrel bomb attack on a market in Al-Hasakah city in northeastern Syria, according to rebel sources. A market for selling sheep in al-Khansaa village was attacked by Syrian regime air forces, the Syrian Revolution General Commission said in a statement. “The barrel bomb attack turned the market into a lake of blood. The bodies of the victims could not be identified due to the severe bomb explosion. The victims included women and children,” the commission said. A number of people were wounded in the massive bomb attack. Another two people were killed in regime airstrikes in the northwestern province of Idlib on Tuesday, rebel police said.
