Assad's Forces take Idlib
A city of about 150k population about 100 mi north of Homs (which was taken last week) and about 50 mi south of Turkish border
The Syrian army recaptured the northern rebel stronghold of Idlib near the Turkish border, a major base that military defectors had held for months, a pro-government newspaper and an activist group reported Tuesday. An international rights group, meanwhile, said the regime was mining the border with Turkey.
