Idlib: Syria's 'forgotten city' targeted for revenge by Assad
2020-03-15
[Rudaw] At the heart of Syria's latest humanitarian crisis, locals call Idlib "the forgotten city", still paying the price for one day in the 1970s when the former president was pelted with tomatoes.
Seriously? Y’all think only the tomatoes of that day caused the rubblification of Idlib province? Nuts.
The city and its surroundings have suffered furious bombardments since December at the hands of Syrian forces and Russian jets, leaving hundreds dead and forcing huge numbers to flee towards the Ottoman Turkish border.

With a tentative ceasefire announced on March 6, villager Malek Haj Khalil returned to his home in Sarmin, just east of Idlib, hoping to recover a few belongings from the ruins of his house.
