RNA - Local residents in the two towns of Nubl and Al-Zahra say they have been the target of stepped up attacks by militants in the past six days, while other reports said the terrorists have also intensified their shelling attacks on Fuaa and Kafraya in Idlib province, apparently to retaliate the heavy blows they have received from pro-government forces in Aleppo.

Reports also said more then 10 civilians were killed and 50 more sustained injuries in most recent attacks by the militant groups on the besieged towns of Nub and al-Zahra.

Meanwhile local residents are complaining about poor medical equipment and the scarcity of specialist medical staff inside the two towns to help the injured.

The terrorist groups intensified their missile and mortar attacks on residential areas in the besieged towns of Foua'a and Kafraya in Idlib province on Wednesday to admittedly compensate for their comrades' defeats in Aleppo.

The terrorists attacked the civilian population in the two Shiite-populated towns of Foua'a and Kafraya with over 600 mortar shells and missiles, including Grad missiles, over the past three days, killing over 24 civilians and injuring dozens more.

The terrorists' rocket attacks also left many houses and a field hospital flattened.

The attacks were launched from the nearby towns of Binish, Savaqiyeh region, Taftnaz as well as Brouma farms West of Kafraya as well as the town of Ma'ar Tamsarin just to the North of Foua'a and Kafraya.

The terrorists also destroyed a field hospital in Foua'a depriving the wounded civilians from vital medical services.

The attacks came as Jeish al-Fatah terrorists in a recent video put on display their missile attacks on Foua'a and Kafraya, and warned that if the Syrian army continues its siege of Aleppo and its surrounding areas, they will considerably increase their missile and mortar attacks on the Shiite-populated towns.

The routine shootings of terrorist groups' snipers on civilians in Foua'a and Kafraya in addition to the spread of dangerous diseases have made life harder in the two small besieged towns in Northern Idlib.

The terrorists have kept a tight siege on the two towns for more three years now, while they have also stationed snipers to target any civilian who wants to seek help from outside or disobeys the militants' rules.

Many residents of Foua'a and Kafraya, specially children, are suffering infectious diseases, including shingles disease, with no access to drugs to treat or even soothe their pains.

The snipers are hunting down innocent civilians, including women and children, adding to the pains of the residents of these two regions amid international mum on the terrorists' crimes.
