A huge explosion rocked the historical city of Aleppo, Friday night, killing and injuring several people that were shopping for the upcoming Eid celebration.

According to Aleppo-based journalist, Kinana Alloush, an IED (improvised explosive device) blasted inside the Al-Furqan Neighborhood of Aleppo last night, taking the lives of 4 civilians and wounding over 20 others that were present in the region.

The Free Syrian Army group “Sarayah Abu Omara” claimed responsibility for the brutal attack, alleging they were targeting the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) inside the Al-Furqan Neighborhood.

Regardless of this claim made by the FSA group, no security or army personnel were injured by their attack; only civilians fell as victims.
