Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent offices (!) under fire in Idlib
Idlib – Offices of the Syrian Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent in the northwestern city of Idlib were hit by airstrikes at midnight on Wednesday, activists reported. The strikes caused casualties among the organisation’s staff and an extensive material damage to its offices in Idlib.

“At least four staff members of the Syrian Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent were injured in the airstrikes, one of them is in critical condition,” media activist Abdulqadir Othman told ARA News in Idlib.

“The bombardment also caused a massive destruction to the organisation’s offices,” the source reported.

Although it was not immediately clear which airforce was behind the strikes, local activists accused the Syrian regime of conducting the attack.

“Destroying offices of the Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent and targeting its staff in Idlib would only serve the Assad regime. So the regime’s air force is most likely behind Wednesday’s strikes,” opposition activist Khalid al-Saleh told ARA News.

Idlib is considered one of the main Syrian governorates out of the regime’s control.

Syrian and Russian warplanes have been carrying out raids against rebel groups and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham militants in Idlib Governorate. Also, the US-led coalition has recently started targeting positions of the al-Qaeda-splinter group of Fateh al-Sham in Idlib.
