According to many village residents and eyewitnesses, warplanes, likely to be affiliated to Syrian regular forces, attacked the village&#39;s market with four high-explosive rockets, which resulted in many deaths among civilians, including women and children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stj-sy.org\/en\/index\/news\">Syrians for Truth and Justice (STJ)<\/a> reporter, the attack was parallel with the fierce military campaign launched by the Syrian regular forces on Eastern Ghouta since Tuesday, November 15, 2017, following Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyya Movement&rsquo;s announcement of the Battle &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/ahraralsham.net\/statment16-11-2017\/\">They Were Wronged<\/a>&quot; which began on Monday morning, November 14, 2017. &nbsp;According to STJ reporter, these battles caused the death of several Syrian regular forces fighters including some officers, headed by Lieutenant General, Walid Khawashkji, deputy commander of the Military Vehicles Management, in addition to that, combatants of Ahrar al-Sham al-Islamiyya Movement managed to control large parts of the Military Vehicles Management as well as the seize of weapons and ammunition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Ahmed al-Khouli, one of Mesraba natives, who were near the targeted site, spoke to STJ about what happened saying:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;At 10:30 a.m., while I was <\/strong><strong>around <\/strong><strong>the town market, Syrian warplanes launched a raid on it. Several rockets were dropped, one of which landed in the middle of the market, which is usually crowded with civilians, and that led to the increase in the number of the dead and the injured. Many families lost their sons besides many children killed, and many have been maimed, not to mention the material damage to civilian houses. However, the scene that stick in my mind is for the woman who was shopping with her children, who in just a few seconds, turned into scattered pieces.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Ahmed said that the targeted market located in the midst of heavily populated civilian buildings, at the intersection of four roads, which connect several areas in Eastern Ghouta. Noting that a large number of those injured, died later, not only because of their serious injuries, but also as a result of the siege imposed on Eastern Ghouta several years ago by Syrian regular forces who deny medicines entry, furthermore, many of the wounded wish they would die to end their torture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/uploads\/files\/\u0645\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0628\u0627.jpg\" style=\"height: 391px; width: 750px;\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:11px;\">Satellite image shows the strike location, at the popular market in Mesraba village, Damascus countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MSRAABA1\/videos\/1704826576234067\/\">video footage<\/a> published by the coordination of Mesraba on November 26, 2017 showed the rising of smoke plumes following the targeting of a popular market within the town at the same date. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=16&amp;v=n68UMiSxo7Y\">Another video footage<\/a> published by the civil defence team of Damascus countryside showed the arrival of the civil defence teams to the strike location, at a popular market in Mesraba, on November 26, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In another testimony, Amer Rihan, a civil defence member in Mesraba village, assured that warplane likely to be affiliated to the Syrian regular forces, fired four high-explosive rockets at a popular market where there are no military headquarters inside or near it in Mesraba. The rockets landed in places that were only a few metres away from each other, in this regard, he said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><strong>&ldquo;While we were at the Civil Defence Centre in Mesraba, we heard the sound of a warplane raiding the town market, we rushed directly to the targeted location, and we were shocked with the scene of the dead bodies scattered everywhere, most of which belonged to children and women. The smell of burning bodies was filling the place. Immediately we transferred the dead and the injured to all medical points in Eastern Ghouta but because of the enormous number of casualties<\/strong><strong>, support was<\/strong><strong> summoned from several civil defence centres. (12) Civilians instantly died, and the death toll began to rise.<\/strong><strong> M<\/strong><strong>any injured died of their wounds, and the final death toll was (21) dead, as well as more than 80 injured.
