[AAWSAT] Syrian activists said ... KABOOM!... s targeting the country's last major opposition stronghold, the northwestern province of Idlib, have killed three civilians, including a woman and her child. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the airstrikes hit the village of Basqala on the southern edge of Idlib.
