A 28-year-old woman from a camp for the displaced in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib was shot on Feb. 10 by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra) near the Deir Ballut crossing in north Idlib.
HTS forces opened fire on the woman as she was transporting diesel from the Olive Branch areas under control of the opposition-affiliated Syrian National Army (SNA).
