One civilian was killed and four others were injured on Monday in artillery attacks by the Syrian regime and Iran-backed militias, according to the White Helmets civil-defense agency.
"The regime and Iran-backed militias targeted rural parts of Idlib, including Kafr Zayta and Al-Lataminah, leading to civilian casualties," the agency said in a statement, going on to voice fear that the death toll could mount further.
So far this year, the regime and its allies have allegedly been responsible for the death of at least 175 civilians -- and the injury of scores of others -- in continued air and ground attacks.
