Director of Aleppo Debeet hospital refutes Assad media

Dr. Sami al-Dabeet, the director of al-Dabeet hospital, where at least 17 people killed in an attack on its building in the city of Aleppo on Tuesday, wrote on his Facebook page a post of appreciation to all those who showed solidarity with the hospital and its staff after the blast which hit the building.

Assad’s media said opposition fighters shelled al-Dabeet hospital using local-made missiles. The word blast contradicted Assad media’s story. The doctor edited the Facebook post removing the word blast.

Syrian activists said that Dr. Sami was under Assad terrorists’ pressure to make the editing.  

 

Najem al-Ali, a Syrian activist, said, “The damage caused by the attack was incalculable, and it could not be caused by opposition’s primitive local-made missiles. Opposition have small missiles of a maximum range of one kilometer.”

Activists say that these kinds of attacks are deliberately engineered and exploited by Assad regime for political reasons. 

“Assad regime aims at these attacks at diverting the world’s attention from crimes and massacres its terrorists commit, especially that committed in al-Quds hospital where the last pediatrician in the city was killed along with 50 civilians in Aleppo’s al-Sekeri neighborhood.
