Syrian activists: Airstrikes hit hospital in rebel village
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBEIRUT — Syrian opposition activists say airstrikes have hit a hospital in a rebel-held northwestern village, knocking it out of service. There is no immediate word on casualties.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Thiqa news agency, an activist collective, say the Rahma hospital in Tel Mannas was hit early on Wednesday.
Activists report several airstrikes on Idlib, the last major rebel stronghold in Syria, as government forces capture new areas from insurgents.
A Syrian government military offensive began April 30 against rebels in Idlib, home to 3 million people. More than half a million have been displaced by violence elsewhere.
