The Group added: “A new attack by Assad regime forces on the de-escalation zone was recorded in northern Syria, targeting one of the largest areas containing hundreds of thousands of civilians in Idleb city. This is the 20th targeting by Syrian regime forces and Russia since the beginning of this year until today in light of civilians’ rising concerns over expanding the targeting of those areas.”
