Syria's doctors 'utterly abandoned' after Russian air strikes hit hospitals
Civilians and medical staff have been killed by strikes as medical staff say the hospital in Sarmin is the most dangerous place to be
he city of Sarmin has endured attacks from chemical weapons and barrel bombs during Syrias four-year civil war, but doctors said the hospital is its most dangerous place.
On Tuesday, bombs struck it for the eleventh time, shattering the walls and killing twelve civilians. Yet this attack was different, witnesses said, coming not from the regime as before but from its ally, Russia.
When the regime strikes, we hear the plane and we know what is coming," Dr Mohammed Tennari, the hospitals director, told The Telegraph. "This time there was nothing, just silence and then an explosion."
Doctors, rescue teams and international observers have documented at least seven Russian attacks on hospitals, clinics and other health facilities since Moscows jets joined Syrias crowded skies on September 30.

These are jihadis so take their hospital claims with a grain of salt. More than likely Russian intel knows jihadis are hiding in the hospital.

Who cares? They were only going to use the hospital to patch up Muslims. Is that too callous?

For fourteen years now, Jihadis have known that mosques, schools and hospitals are safe havens from coalition attacks, good places to hide weapons and rest soldiers.
They're going to learn a tough lesson about how Russians fight. Ivan doesn't give a flying fig about collateral damage.

Does ANYONE seriously think that the Syrians would hit a hospital 11 TIMES if they really thought its only purpose was treating civilians? The Syrians are busy fighting a war, they’re not going to hit hospitals just for the heck of it. They’re hitting it for a reason.

Russian hypersonic cruise missiles. The missile strikes before the sound of its passage catches up with it.

“They have threatened to put underpants on their heads, though.”
Lets hope not. That would be embarrassing.

Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor
It’s the big surprise they’re waiting for
And all the couples form a ring
For miles around you’ll hear them sing
Roll out the barrel bomb, we’ll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel bomb, we’ve got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now’s the time to roll the barrel bomb, for the gang’s all here

Ahem, hit 11 times? Hey, Doc, why'd you go back after the second time? the third? the seventh? Ever hear Einstein's
definition of insanity? Physician, heal thyself. And get the heck out of Dodge.
