[AAWSAT] Syrian activists said Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s targeting the country's last major opposition stronghold, the northwestern province of Idlib, have killed three civilians, including a woman and her child.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the airstrikes hit the village of Basqala on the southern edge of Idlib.

The opposition's Syrian Civil Defense rescue group, also known as White Helmets, said its members helped treat the maimed and handed over the bodies of the dead to their families in Basqala.

Syrian regime forces have been on the offensive since April 30, during which they have captured all opposition-held areas in the adjoining Hama province, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
