LONDON - 14 November 2017: At least 53 people have been killed in three airstrikes on a Syrian market in Atareb, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Monday.

Among the dead were at least five children and three women, the rights group said in a press release, adding that the market was hit by three separate strikes.

The town, in Aleppo, is supposedly part of a "de-escalation zone" established earlier this year by Russia, Iran and Turkey
