Russian warplanes battered Syria’s terrorist-controlled Idlib on Tuesday for the first time in three weeks, a war monitor said, as expectations mount of a government offensive in the northwestern province.

“Russian warplanes resumed bombing Idlib province after a 22-day pause,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the UK-based opposition Syrian Observatory.

The air raids “came a day after militant units in Idlib hit the army positions in neighboring Latakia province, which killed three pro-army fighters,” Abdel Rahman told AFP.
