In Syria, intensified air raids by government forces killed at least 17 civilians in Aleppo and Idlib provinces over the past few days, and local reports say dozens of people have been killed over the past two weeks as a bombardment campaign pummeled what is believed to be the last rebel stronghold around Idlib. The Syria Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, have reported several attacks by Russian warplanes on hospitals and medical facilities in the past few days.
