In a new escalation… Yarmouk camp bombarded with cluster bombs and incendiary missiles

On the ninth day of the military operation on Yarmouk camp, the Russian and Syrian warplanes launched intensive air strikes causing extensive destruction in the camp, as well as the use of various weapons and war equipment.

According to our correspondent, the neighborhoods of Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, Al-Tadamon, Al-Qadam and the Zein neighborhood, witnessed intensive air raids, which exceeded 130 strikes. He added that the regime’s helicopters fired over 30 explosive barrels on the mentioned neighborhoods, in conjunction with heavy artillery shelling targeting scattered areas of the camp.

More than 70 surface-to-surface ‘elephant’ missiles were also recorded to have fallen, as well as rockets and dozens of rocket-propelled grenades.

In a new escalation, the Syrian and Russian regimes used the internationally prohibited cluster bombs in the bombardments. According to our correspondent, new types of mortars and rockets are being used since yesterday night, causing large fires in the areas they are targeted at, and burned almost 100 houses near to Safad, Haifa and Homoreya, in the besieged Yarmouk camp.

Activists in south Damascus confirmed that the Russian side spoke of its intention to use incendiary missiles in south Damascus and Yarmouk camp, while attending the negotiating sessions with them.

Our correspondent also indicated the outbreak of violent clashes between the regime forces and groups loyal to it, and members of ISIS, at the Tadamon, Qadam and Zein neighborhood axes. This coincided with violent fighting between Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and the regime forces, at the beginning of Yarmouk camp.

It is noteworthy that the Syrian regime and the Palestinian factions loyal to it launched a violent military campaign targeting Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad and Al-Qadam, since the 19th of April 2018, leading to dozens of deaths and injuries among the civilians, in addition to great destruction to the majority of neighborhoods in Yarmouk camp.
