Orient Net, Feb. 7, 2017 – The air force of the Syrian dictator, Assad, on Tuesday used barrel bombs and naval mines in conducting deadly airstrikes on Hama countryside’s ‎Kafr Zita and and its neighbouring towns of Latamneh and Taibet al-Imam. The air attacks rendered Kafr Zita ‎makeshift hospital out of service and injured a number of staff, Orient News correspondent said.  ‎

Opposition Health Directorate in Hama countryside released ‎a statement confirming that the hospital was rendered out of service due to the heavy ‎Assad airstrikes, whose bombs destroyed the medical equipment.

“Assad helicopters pummeled the Kafr Zita hospital and its surroundings ‎with barrel bombs, injuring some of the staff and patients. The hospital ‎building was significantly damaged, the electricity generator ‎was destroyed, in addition to other devices and equipment,” ‎the directorate said in a statement. ‎

Furthermore, a woman was killed and others were injured ‎during shelling on al-Latamneh town by Assad terrorists ‎positioned on Zein al-Abidin Mountain.

Assad artillery shells were also reported in al-Qantara village in Hama southern countryside from the Assad base in Qubet al-Kurdi village. ‎
Separately, Shia militia-backed Assad terrorists tried to ‎advance towards the outskirts of al-Jinbaza village in Hama ‎northern countryside, where fierce clashes took place between ‎opposition fighters and Assad terrorists with no military ‎progress made by the latter side.
