Missiles hit Syria jihadists near Idlib city: monitor
Beirut, Aug 31 (AFP) Aug 31, 2019
Missiles on Saturday hit Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists in northwestern Syria, a war monitor said, hours after government forces halted air strikes in compliance with a Russian-backed truce.

The attack near Idlib city hit "positions" belonging to the Hurras al-Deen jihadist group, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack, or if the missiles where launched from war planes or positions on the ground, the Britain-based monitor added.
