At least 23 civilians were killed when missiles hit three hospitals and a school in rebel-held Syrian towns on Monday, residents said, as Russian-backed Syrian troops intensified their push toward the rebel stronghold of Aleppo.
Fourteen people were killed in the town of Azaz near the Turkish border when missiles slammed into a school sheltering families fleeing the offensive and the children's hospital, two residents and a medic said.
Bombs also hit another refugee shelter south of the town and a convoy of trucks, another resident said.
"We have been moving scores of screaming children from the hospital," said medic Juma Rahal. At least two children were killed and scores of people injured, he said.

Russia is fighting against the IS.
Probably a coalition false flag to blame Russia and the Syrian government, probably carried out by either the United States or Turkey.

It is always difficult as not to say impossible to see through the fog of war. And in any event, it is unimportant at this point, who did this and whether or not it was collateral damage or intent.
We have let civil war to evolve and a dictator to try to get back his people. We did not get rid of the man at the beginning and now the situation is no longer our allies or ours to control. We have really made a mess of it.
What does Russia have to gain by bombing a hospital... not a lot, it would lose more than it would gain in terms of the propaganda war. That is how I judge events, who benefits from that event taking place. You do that with all crimes look at what the motive is.
Assad is a barrier against terrorism, when you topple men like Assad chaos and extremism has followed.
Who is to say that they intentionally selected the hospital? That would be a war crime, unless they want to claim that terrorists were using the hospital as a human shield. Or they could just claim that it was a mistake. At least those possibilities offers a small amount of validation. Just inventing new story lines to try and shift the blame completely sounds desperate and conspiratorial.
But hey, if you want to believe that it was tin foil hats all the way down, you go ahead.
Do you get paid in Egyptian Pounds or Russian Rubles?
EU president Donald Tusk warned...
"As a direct consequence of the Russian military campaign, the murderous Assad regime is gaining ground, the moderate Syrian opposition is losing ground and thousands more refugees are fleeing towards Turkey and Europe."

Hitler was an excellent example.
But all joking aside. What you say is only superficially true and the appearance that it be so derived from poor organization of the periods after removal. These must be stabilized by a global entity as must the robust and general protection of populations around the world. This is only one reason and only a weak one at that for the demand of r2p to be supra-nationally guaranteed. The main reason is much more important to us, as it concerns the probability of nuclear war.
When has regime change in the middle east in the last 20 years been a success through military intervention? Why do you support the same failed policies in Libya and Iraq?
I just said that it must be done differently. Did you miss that?
"Done differently" how else can it be done? Anyway who gave you the right to interfere in the first place?
That is an odd way of interpreting foreign policy and international security. Are you a lawyer?
Are you going to answer the questions then?
I did. Reread, what was said.
Do you get paid in Egyptian Pounds or Russian Rubles?
All I saw was a load of waffle about international bodies and nuclear weapons so did you say UN invasion force to stop imaginary nuclear weapons? Sorry can you clarify?
If you think it was "waffle" and do not know, let's just leave it at that.
You still have not answered my two questions.
1. "Done differently" how else can it be done?
2. Anyway who gave you the right to interfere in the first place?
1. By organized intervention under the mandate of the UN and by handling the peace after the removal of the mass murderers by the UN till stability, rule of law and democratic process has been established for at least 20 years.
2. No need for that until the UN can robustly guarantee r2p and believably does so.
