Syria: Bomb Attacks Kill 15 in Idlib

HeadlineFeb 19, 2019

In Syria, twin bomb attacks in the northwestern city of Idlib killed at least 15 people Monday, including four children, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The attacks come as Syrian government fighters say just a few hundred fighters remain in the last Islamic State stronghold of Baghouz, in the east of the country, where they are hiding out among around 1,000 villagers. On Monday, the International Rescue Committee said over 60 people have died in recent weeks due to exhaustion and malnutrition after leaving the area. The majority of deaths were of young children.
