War scenes for a new Jackie Chan produced movie were reportedly shot in a����by Assad bombing, according to activists.

The film Home Operation��- which explores the emergency evacuation of Chinese citizens from Yemen during the ��- was partly filmed near the ruined regime-held city of Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, south of the Syrian capital ,��Al Jazeera�������ǰ��ٱ��.

Home Operation is a Chinese-Emirati collaboration, according to the country's Ambassador to China Ali Obaid Al-Daheri, PR news wire reported last August.

Activists are outraged over the movie, labelling�� it "whitewashing" of Assad war crimes and "shameful" behaviour by the Syrian regime's allies - China and the UAE.

��������could not verify the claims but contacted SYX Pictures FZ-LLC, Jackie Chan, and Al-Daheri’s media office for comment. It received no response at the time of publication.

Over 500,000 Syrians have been killed since the war in Syria broke out in 2011 - the vast majority civilians from regime bombing and shelling.

Whole towns and neighbourhoods have been completely flattened by the regime during their assaults on opposition areas.

"It is shameful to film such films on the ruins of Syrian homes that were destroyed by the Assad regime, Russia and Iran…the Chinese fascist regime is an ally of Syria, and they are trying to whitewash their crimes in actions like this," Syrian journalist Fared Al Mahlool told ������.

"The Chinese who came and filmed this movie should respect the Syrians whose homes were bombed and destroyed, leading to many Syrians becoming displaced," he added.

Activists say the film will cause psychological harm to Syrians who lost loved ones in bombing or saw their homes destroyed by regime attacks.

MR Jackie Chan:
You are causing great psychological harm to us, the owners of these houses that were destroyed by Bashar's criminal regime in Syria

Please,stop filming in our homes.

"God help us, we have become a mockery on a universal scale," one Syrian wrote.

"So that’s why Bashar destroyed all of these cities, he wanted to make a film location set," another commented.

The film's director and producer Song Yingxi stated his production company SYX Pictures FZ-LLC ��would complete its registration for its base in the UAE, during the film's launch ceremony last year, PR News Wire reported.��

Yinxi stated his company would therefore become a "base for me and [the] Chinese film industry in MENA".

World-famous actor Jackie Chan is the executive producer of the film and has previously expressed his support for Syrian regime ally Russia and China’s relations, stating “friendship between China and Russia will last forever”, according to Russian News Agency TASS.

The Syrian conflict broke out in 2011 after President Bashar al-Assad brutally cracked down on peaceful protests.

Bashar Al-Assad was widely-criticised for a recent family photo in a bombed-out section of Aleppo, which was heavily damaged by regime bombing during the war.
