Last week, it launched an attack on a refugee camp in Idlib governorate, in the North of the country, near the border with Turkey, where at least 28 people were killed. According to the international news agencies, are several children among the victims.

Damascus denied any involvement in what happened and accused the rebels of responsibility for the attacks. According to the armed forces of the Government of Bashar al-Assad, the information would be transmitted by various means of international communication, being totally false.
