BEIRUT – An attack by Syrian government forces in Idlib, northwestern Syria killed at least 15 and wounded others at a displaced persons camp on Wednesday, according to the Syrian civil defense.
Syria’s northwest corner is the last major territory still in rebel hands after over eight years of war.
Russia – which supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his country’s civil war – and Turkey co-sponsored a de-escalation agreement for the area earlier this year.
The region is home to hundreds of thousands of people who fled other parts of Syria as government forces advanced through the country since Moscow joined the war on the side of Assad in 2015.(Reuters)
