At least three civilians from the same family were killed when Russian warplanes struck the outskirts of the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the international coalition carried out an airdrop at dawn in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, which resulted in the arrest of an ISIS member.
Russian airstrikes on western Idlib left “three dead from the same family... and six people wounded,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that the rescue teams removed them from the rubble and transferred them to the hospital for treatment.
SOHR documented the death of 27 civilians and combatants in airstrikes by Russian warplanes in the “Putin-Erdogan” area, in addition to the injury of more than 46 people.
Four strikes hit the area where armed factions’ bases are present, added the Observatory.
Syria’s 12-year-long war has killed more than half a million people.
With Russian and Iranian support, the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has clawed back much of the territory it had lost to the armed opposition early in the conflict.
The last pockets of armed opposition include swathes of opposition-held Idlib province, controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), in addition to the areas controlled by Kurd fighters in the north and northeast of the country.
Since 2020, a ceasefire deal brokered by Ankara has largely held, despite periodic clashes.
However, the month of June witnessed increased violence.
Moreover, the Observatory reported on Saturday that the SDF and the international coalition carried out an airdrop operation in Daman village in Al-Basirah city in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor. The operation resulted in the arrest of a person who is an ISIS member.
SDF and international coalition forces are continuing to pursue “ISIS” remnants in areas in the northeast of Syria, which is witnessing increased activity recently, through targeting and surprise attacks against the military formations in the region.
Since the beginning of 2023, the Observatory has documented 58 operations carried out by the international coalition forces, which resulted in the killing of 13 ISIS members, the death of a civilian, and the arrest of 473 of them.
