Russian warplanes bomb FSA camp in Syria's Idlib
As Syrian and Russian attacks escalate in Idlib, the FSA-affiliated Jaysh al-Izza denied Russian reports that an airstrike at one of their sites in a displaced camp in the north killed some of their commanders.
ALEPPO, Syria — Syrian government forces and Russia have recently renewed their ground and airstrikes on Idlib province in northwestern Syria.
On Sept. 30, Russian warplanes targeted the outskirts of al-Ruweiha and Mseibin in the south of Idlib, as the Syrian government forces fired artillery shells at several villages in Jabal al-Zawiya area in southern Idlib, and more than 50 shells at a number of towns and villages in Al-Ghab Plain in northwest Hama.
The Syrian Civil Defense, aka the White Helmets, reported cases of fainting due to fear and panic among the displaced, while students evacuated their schools in the camp because of the nearby bombing in the Kalbit area.
Fatima Saeed, mother of four who lives in one of the Kalbit displacement camps, told Al-Monitor, “I panicked when I heard the Russian strikes because two of my children were just leaving school. I ran out of my tent to look for them. I was dead worried they would be hit by the bombs.”
