Market bombings

The fighter jets carried out high-altitude overflights, and air traffic control centers said it was a Sukhoi fighter, while they dropped their bombs on a vegetable market in Jisr al-Saqr.

The market was packed with shopkeepers ahead of Eid al-Fitr, killing at least nine people and injuring 30, according to a volunteer group of White Helmets operating in parts of Syria.

The death toll so far has reached 9 martyrs and more than 30 wounded.
May God have mercy on them and accept them in the highest centers of Paradise 🤲🤲 pic.twitter.com/jXjIdTGaof
