US slams Assad regime's aggression in Idlib, says its offensive heightens risk of conflict 'with our NATO ally Turkey'
People check the damage in a street following an air strike by pro-regime forces in the town Maarrat Misrin in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, on February 25, 2020.
An air strike on the opposition-held village of Arnabeh on Wednesday morning killed three civilians according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitoring group, and Idlib-based activist Hadi Abdullah. The Syrian Response Coordination Group, a relief group operating in the country's northwest, said that regime forces had struck numerous civilian targets in the past 24 hours, including eight schools, three medical centers, and several settlements where people displaced by the fighting had taken shelter.
"As we have said many times before, the regime will not be able to obtain military victory. The regime’s offensive only heightens the risk of conflict with our NATO ally Turkey," he said. Clashes between Turkish and regime troops so far this month have left 15 Turkish soldiers and a contractor dead.A doctor in Idlib said in a video released late Tuesday that the medical conditions are deteriorating in Idlib.
