Bombardment of the largely rebel-controlled region of Idlib followed strikes on Tuesday night and Wednesday that killed 23 civilians, 12 of them at a busy market. Syrian regime forces retook the town on May 8, but the rebels retook most of it on Wednesday, the Britain-based monitor said.The Hayat Tahrir al Sham alliance, which is led by Al Qaeda's former Syria affiliate, controls much of Idlib as well as adjacent slivers of Aleppo, Hama and Latakia provinces.Also on Thursday, militants fired four rockets towards Russia's Hmeymim Air Base in Syria, but all the rockets were destroyed, RIA news agency cited Russia's defence ministry.
The region is nominally protected by a buffer zone deal, but the regime and its ally Russia have escalated their bombardment in recent weeks, seizing several towns on its southern flank.The UN has warned that an all-out offensive on Idlib region would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe for its nearly three million residents.
