Syria: Regime bombardment kills 18 civilians in Idlib
At least 18 civilians were killed on Monday as Syria’s regime intensified its bombardment of Idlib province, the last jihadist stronghold in the country’s northwest, a monitor said.
Idlib and parts of the neighbouring provinces of Aleppo, Hama and Latakia are under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a jihadist group led by Syria’s former al-Qaeda affiliate.
Eighteen civilians, including six children, were killed on Monday in air strikes and missile attacks on Idlib province, said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Ten of them, including four children, died in the town of Ariha, he told AFP, adding that at least 47 people were wounded across the province.
