IDLIB: Syrian government forces shelled a tented settlement housing families displaced by the country’s conflict in the rebel-held northwest early Sunday, killing at least six people and wounding more than a dozen, opposition war monitors said. The bombing is the latest violation of a truce reached between Russia and Turkey in March 2020 that ended a Russian-backed government offensive in idlib province that is the last major rebel stronghold in Syria.
The truce has been repeatedly violated in the last two years killing and injuring dozens of people.
The tented settlement, known as the Maram camp, is just northwest of the provincial capital of Idlib.
