[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Airstrikes on several locations in northwest Syria near the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
have killed at least one person and set afire several trucks used to distribute aid, opposition activists and a paramedic group said Monday.
The late Sunday attacks angered Turkey, which had asked Russia to secure an immediate end to the strikes, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said, adding that Ottoman Turkish troops had been placed on alert.
Turkey and Russia support rival parties in Syria’s 10-year conflict. The countries reached a deal last March that stopped a Russian-backed government offensive on the northwestern Idlib province, the last major opposition stronghold in war-torn Syria.
Opposition activists claimed that Russian warplanes carried out the attacks near the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey late Sunday, hours after regime artillery shelling hit a major hospital in a opposition-controlled town in northwestern Syria.
Six patients, including a child, were killed. Medical staff were maimed, forcing the facility to shut its doors, The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
The Bab al-Hawa border crossing is a main point from which aid is brought to opposition-held parts of northwest Syria.
Idlib-based journalist Salwa Abdul-Rahman said one of the strikes hit an area near the town of Sarmada, setting afire trucks used by aid workers to distribute assistance.
"The targeted locations were civilian with no military presence," she said.
One person was killed in the strikes, according to the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, and the opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets.
The civil defense said that in addition to the trucks, the strikes targeted a cement factory. The truck fires were put under control hours later.
An AP video from the area showed about a dozen trucks on fire as civil defense members sprayed them with water.
Turkey’s Defense Ministry blamed Syrian regime forces for the attack, saying it left several people maimed.
