The Russian Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s hit a training camp of the Faylaq al-Sham faction in the Jabal Duwayli area in Idlib province, the London-based monitoring group said.

There were over 90 rebels injured in the airstrike.

SOHR head Rami Abdel Rahman described Monday's strikes as the "deadliest" in eight months since the sides had agreed to a ceasefire.

AFP cited the National Liberation Front
...the Turkic paramilitaries intended to replace with their native jihadi ferocity all the highly trained Turkish soldiers Sultan Erdogan I the much beloved has jailed in the last few years for not worshipping the ground he walks upon. The Uighurs and so forth who did not join Al Nusra or ISIS seem to have ended up here...
, an umbrella group of Ankara-backed rebels based in Idlib that includes Faylaq al-Sham, as confirming that the Russian warplanes had hit one of its camps.

However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
the organization did not provide details on casualties.
