Syrian air strikes killed 12 civilians including 2 rebel fighters

BEIRUT: Air strikes on a rebel-held village in northwest Syria early Tuesday killed 12 people and put a nearby field clinic out of service, a monitor said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said a first round of raids, which were likely carried out by Russian jets, targeted the village of Duwayleh in Idlib province.

"Twelve people were killed, including at least two rebel fighters and five civilians," Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said.

"As they were bringing wounded people to the clinic in nearby Kafr Takharim, new airstrikes hit near the facility," Abdel Rahman told AFP. (APP)
