Airstrike on Rebel-Held Syrian Area Kills 35; Occurred in Idlib,Most Populated Rebel Area

A rebel-held village in northwestern Syria was attacked yesterday in an airstrike shortly after Muslims broke their Ramadan fast after sunset, the Fox News website reports today (June 8, 2018).

The attack killed at least 35 and wounded dozens, including children.

The airstrike occurred in the rebel-held province of Idlib, which is part of a de-escalation zone agreed on last year by Russia, Turkey, and Iran.

Tens of thousands of Syrians displaced from other parts of the country have settled in Idlib province  over the past two years, making it the largest populated area of Syria out of the government's control.
