Syria: Hospitals Bombed in Idlib; Mosque Destroyed in Raqqa

HeadlineSep 20, 2017

In Syria, at least three hospitals were hit by airstrikes Tuesday in the rebel-controlled province of Idlib, killing medical workers and cutting off access to healthcare for thousands of residents. Residents blamed either Russian or Syrian warplanes for the attacks. Meanwhile, the battle continues in Raqqa, where the local journalistic monitoring group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently reports U.S.-led coalition airstrikes have struck the Al-Shomati mosque and a college in Raqqa in recent days.
