13. Rural Aleppo - Tel Rif’at: the residents of the city decrease each day due to civilians fleeing and being killed. As soon as the sun sets and night comes, the streets become completely empty and everything becomes calm. The silence is pierced by sounds of artillery shells from afar and near. The city is not only witnessing sounds, but also destruction, panic, fear, casualties, critical injuries and martyrs. This is what residents of the city experienced when they awoke to a new tragedy, where 3 brothers from one family were martyred, who had made a living by selling vegetables in a small shop after circumstances worsened and they became very poor and were left with practically nothing. The videos show some of the destruction from the shelling:
