Maaret al-Numan (Syria) (AFP) – Regime air strikes on a jihadist enclave in northwest Syria killed seven civilians on Thursday, a monitor said, the latest deaths in a bloody wave of government attacks. Damascus and its ally Russia have pummelled Idlib province and surroundings over the past month despite a truce deal aimed at staving off a humanitarian catastrophe. “The pace of air strikes decreased relatively on Thursday compared to previous days,” said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.
