[IsraelTimes] Rescue group says artillery fire struck several families’ homes in Idlib; civil defense center, water station hit in Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...s.
Artillery fire from government-controlled territory and airstrikes Saturday killed at least eight civilians in Syria’s last rebel enclave, most of them children, and destroyed a civil defense center and a water station, rescue workers and a war monitor said.
The shelling in Ibleen, a village in southern Idlib province, hit the home of Subhi al-Assi, killing him, his wife and three of his children in their sleep, according to the rescue service known as the White Helmets and Idlib’s Health Directorate. al-Assi was an administrator in a local health center.
Shelling also struck the home of a volunteer for the White Helmets, also known as the Syria Civil Defense, killing his two children. The volunteer, Omar al-Omar, and his wife were maimed, according to the White Helmets. In a nearby village, another child was killed and four others from the same family were maimed, according to the White Helmets.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the shelling and casualties. The Observatory said the shelling was followed by airstrikes by suspected Russian warplanes that hit areas west of Idlib city. The White Helmets said one of its centers was targeted and destroyed in the air raid, putting it out of service. Five volunteers were slightly maimed. A water station in the area was also hit and put out of service, the White Helmets said.
The area has seen rising violence in recent weeks between government forces and bully boyz on the edge of the last rebel stronghold in the northwestern province of Idlib, despite a truce brokered last year.
The truce was negotiated between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
, which supports Syria’s opposition, and Russia, the Syrian government’s main backer. At the time, it halted a crushing Russian-backed government air and ground campaign aimed at retaking the region where nearly 4 million people, most of them displaced, live.
Residents of the enclave are dependent on humanitarian aid brought in from across the border with Turkey. The region is dominated by krazed killer groups. Dominant among them is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
, a group once linked to al-Qaeda.
