The Observatory
did not say how many people had been killed in the strike on the
al-Dabit hospital. State-run Syrian news channel Ikhbariya said
three women were killed and 17 more people wounded.
The Syrian army said in a statement the attack was part of a
widespread assault by insurgent groups in Aleppo on Tuesday and
that it was responding "to the sources of fire".
The statement issued by the army command said the attack was at
"a time when international and local efforts are being made to
shore-up the (cessation of hostilities agreement) and to
implement...calm in Aleppo".
The Observatory said the hospital had been heavily damaged.
In rebel-held parts of Aleppo, the Observatory said there had
been three air strikes, citing information of an unconfirmed
number of people killed.
