Airstrikes on Syrian ex-Qaeda branch kill 26, says Monitor

Published on: 

 Air strikes on Syria’s former al-Qaeda affiliate in the country’s northwest today killed 26 people, including civilians, a monitoring group said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP at least 10 air strikes battered the headquarters of Fateh al-Sham Front and the surrounding neighbourhood in Idlib city at dawn on Tuesday.

“Ten civilians, mostly women, are among the dead,” Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

“The toll could rise because some people are trapped under the rubble and unaccounted for,” he added.
