“Moderate rebels” kill Russian medics in Syria’s Aleppo
5
December, 2016
One
female Russian medical worker has been killed, two others wounded as
mortar shells fired by rebel fighters hit their mobile hospital in
the government-held parts of the Aleppo.
The
hospital was set up by the Russian military to provide medical care
for civilians who have recently fled the battles in the eastern parts
as government forces launch fierce military operation to retake the
eastern districts.
A
number of local residents who were receiving medical treatment at the
hospital were also injured in the attack.
The
targeted hospital was established in Al-Furqan neighborhood, located
some 2 km from the frontline to the east where militants are holed up
in Bustan Al-Qasr district.
Russian
Defence ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov confirmed
the incident, accusing the United States, Britain and France of
tipping off the rebels about the hospital's location.
“The
blood of our soldiers is on the hands of those who ordered this
murder. Those who created, nurtured and armed these beasts in human
form and named them the 'opposition',” he said.
Did the US-led coalition give the EXACT coordinates of Russian Aleppo hospital to Al-Qaeda for a missile attack?

Blood
on the hands of the US, UK, France and their sympathizers for the
Aleppo Hospital attack.
This
becoming a very familiar pattern. Every time Lavrov and Kerry appear
to be making some sort of progress on ending hostilities in Syria, an
unwarranted, and oddly timed attack on forces sided with the Syrian
government occur.
On September
9th Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary John
Kerry agreed to a cessation of hostilities in Syria, and an ultimatum
for the US to finally separate the “moderate
rebels” from
the Al Qaeda-Al Nusra jihadi fighters.
As
pressure mounted to
have the full text of the Lavrov – Kerry agreement published for
the international community to understand the exact conditions
outlined (something the US was admittedly opposed to), the American
air force“accidentally” attacked
the Syrian Arab Army positions at Deir Ezzor, which resulted in the
death of 80 soldiers who were making strong gains against ISIS.
The
Duran’s Adam Garrie noted…
–the timing of the event, the political response, the way in which the US has disregarded the UN as a serious forum, and the uncertainty over whether the crime was an intentional or unintentional blunder, cannot be ignored.
The Russian Foreign Ministry have said quite frankly that the US airstrike has been an aid to ISIS. This is material fact and will be recorded in the annals of military history.
This
morning, The
Duran’s Alexander Mercouris reported
that the Syrian army is rapidly moving closer to taking back Aleppo
from US-Saudi backed Al Qaeda jihadists…some
predict the end game is days away, the Syrian army predicts final
defeat of Jihadis “within weeks”.
Lavrov
and Kerry are once again discussing a diplomatic end to hostilities
in and around Aleppo. The US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the EU, are
anxious to save whatever remains of their Al Qaeda regime change
investment.
The
Duran’s Alexander Mercouris reported
that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has spelled
out clearly the
terms Russia is giving to the US and to the Jihadis in eastern
Aleppo: “they
must all leave the city by a fixed date or be treated as
terrorists.”
As
diplomatic talks between Lavrov and Kerry intensify, to bring an end
to fighting, the pattern of oddly timed attacks on forces sided with
the Syrian government once again hit the news wires. This time the
victim is not the Syrian army, but Russian doctors.
RT
reported today that
Russian doctors were killed in rebel shelling of a hospital in
Aleppo…
A female Russian medical specialist has been killed and two more medics have been injured in a militant shelling of a mobile military hospital in Aleppo, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Some local residents attending medical appointments were also injured during the shelling that targeted one of the field hospitals set up in the government held part of the city, the ministry added.
Russian military medics have begun to consult the residents of Syrian Aleppo’s eastern districts liberated from militants. They opened a clinic, a medical ward for children, a surgery department, an intensive care department, a laboratory and an x-ray room.

Russian
Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov issued a
statement on the sudden attack that may ensure a decisive end to
any sort of diplomacy that remains between Kerry and Lavrov.
The
statement not only condemns the attack, but clearly places the blame
on “terrorists’
patrons from the US, UK, France and their sympathizers” who,
according to Konashenkov “provided
the militants with information on the Russian hospital and its exact
coordinates.”
“Today, between 12:21 and 12:30pm [local time], a medical center of the Russian Defense Ministry’s mobile hospital in Aleppo was shelled by the militants during the reception time.”
“As a result of the direct hit of the reception ward, one female Russian military medic was killed [and] two medical specialists were severely injured.”
“We know who provided the militants with information on the Russian hospital and its exact coordinates. Therefore it’s not only the actual perpetrators who are responsible for murdering and wounding our medics who were administering aid to Aleppo children.”
“The hands of those who instigated this murder are also coated with the blood of our servicemen. Those who created, fed and armed those beats in human disguise, naming them ‘opposition’ for justification before their own conscience and voters. Yes, [this blood is on your hands], terrorists’ patrons from the US, UK, France and their sympathizers.”
The
Russian Defense Ministry is calling on the international
community to condemn the attack. We will wait and see if the
establishment mainstream media even mentions the story within their
news cycle.
We
may also expect a western inspired false flag attack on, “say
a UN
convoy“, so
as to divert attention away from this crime and thrust some good old
“fake news” blame on Russian aggression.
“We calls on the entire international community, as well as the International Red Cross and Red Crescent, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and other international organizations to strongly condemn the murder of Russian doctors who carried out their duty by delivering medical assistance to the civilians in Aleppo. All perpetrators and all those who ordered the shelling of the Russian Defense Ministry’s hospital in Aleppo must be held accountable for their actions.”
