“The toll in the terrorist targeting of the St. John of Damascus school with mortar rounds has risen to five dead, all of them children, and 27 injured,” a news alert on Syrian state television said.

Just last week, militants targeted another school, the Aaisha al-Sidiqa school in the Zahira neighbourhood of Damascus, with mortar fire injuring four first graders.
