Regime Attacks Kill 25 in Syria's Idlib
2019-06-20
[AnNahar] Regime attacks killed 16 civilians and nine combatants in Syria's jihadist-run northwest on Wednesday, a war monitor said, the latest violence to rattle a region housing three million people.

Eleven non-combatants were killed in regime air strikes on a village in the Jabal al-Zawiya region of southeastern Idlib province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The bombardment destroyed shops and ripped apart bodies, according to an AFP photographer, who found human remains more than a hundred metres away from the site of the strike.

Rescue workers were seen pulling bodies from under the rubble.

Four other non-combatants were killed in air raids on nearby towns and villages in southern Idlib, while one civilian died in air strikes on the edges of Idlib's eponymous bucolic provincial capital, the Britannia-based Observatory said.

In the north of nearby Hama province, regime rocket fire killed 9 jihadists, a day after fierce festivities in the area left at least 55 combatants dead, including 14 regime fighters, the war monitor reported.
