Militants used Grad rockets to attack people who have been suffering from a strict blockade imposed by western-backed militants for more than eleven months, al-Alam correspondent reported on Sunday.

The attack comes as Syrian army was preparing to start a major operation in Aleppo to flush out occupying terrorists.

Terrorist groups entered these two towns at the beginning of the insurgency in March 2011, but in July 2012 they completely blocked the area letting no food, medicine and supplies to enter.

No one could leave the area or enter as well.

In May, a group of a thousand people tried to break the siege, but they faced the terrorists who attacked the group brutally and killed and arrested many of them.
