Idlib

The Syrian regime has intensified its airstrikes against the northwestern Idlib province in the past ten days, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Tuesday.
The “White Helmets” rescue organization that operates in opposition areas of Syria said five people were killed by shelling and airstrikes on Tuesday, including three children.
According to a senior data analyst at Hala Systems, which operates an early warning system for aerial bombardment called Sentry, 13 strikes had been observed in Idlib and northern Hama on Tuesday.
“This is the third straight day in which a significant increase in airstrikes has been observed. The pace of attacks seems high — and certainly unusual compared to the last few months,” the analyst, who declined to be identified, told Reuters.
“The bombing is focused mainly on towns along the Damascus-Aleppo international road,” said Observatory Director Rami Abdulrahman.

The strikes against the last opposition bastion has forced thousands to flee the town of Khan Sheikhoun.
“Khan Sheikhoun has turned into a ghost town,” said Abdulrahman.
Barrel bombing along the major highway.  I guess it is camel meets truck. Country bumbkin Islamonuts:

The Islamic State group may have lost all its territory in Syria but a rival jihadist group has been making gains in the last remaining opposition stronghold in the north of the country - and it has got residents nervous.
In a dramatic takeover last month, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) swept through towns and villages in Idlib province, as well as adjoining parts of Aleppo and Hama.
The group - which was known as al-Nusra Front before it broke off formal ties with al-Qaeda three years ago - expelled some rebel factions and forced others to surrender and recognise a "civil administration" it backs.
Residents are nervous about what, exactly?  If they don't like Islamonuts then residents out to give up the religion, or become AllRightie, like the Bashar, fake Islamic. Then once the camel jockies are pushed all the way back to Mecca, you can go back to whatever abnormal religion you had before the camel jockies.
