A Syrian school playground was reportedly attacked with a napalm-bomb that led to the deaths of ten children and left several others with burns on 50 percent of their bodies.

According to the Daily Express, a fighter jet had repeatedly flown overhead searching for a target, before dropping the bomb.

The victims were left with a white substance on their skin and were being treated in a basic hospital, the report added.

The BBC suggested that the bomb contained something like napalm or thermite.
