At Least 14 Killed in Airstrikes in Syria, State Media Reports
At least 14 people have been killed in airstrikes in Syria, according to state media reports. The airstrikes, which took place in the northwestern province of Idlib, have been attributed to the Syrian government forces.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, reported that the airstrikes targeted several areas in Idlib, including the towns of Binnish and Maarat al-Numan. The group also reported that several people were injured in the strikes, with the death toll expected to rise.
The Syrian government has been carrying out airstrikes in Idlib as part of its ongoing military campaign to recapture the province from rebel forces. Idlib is one of the last remaining rebel-held areas in Syria and has been the target of heavy bombardment in recent months.
The United Nations has expressed grave concern over the escalating violence in Idlib, warning that the situation could worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region. The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for the delivery of much-needed aid to the civilian population.
The latest airstrikes in Idlib come as the Syrian government continues its offensive in the region, despite calls from the international community to halt the violence. The conflict in Syria, which began in 2011, has already claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions more.
As the violence in Syria continues to escalate, it is imperative that the international community takes action to bring an end to the bloodshed and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The civilian population in Idlib, who have already suffered greatly from years of war, deserve to live in safety and security.
