BEIRUT: At least 33 people were killed on Tuesday in Syrian government air strikes on a village in northwestern Idlib province and a suburb of Damascus, a monitor said.
At least 22 people died in government raids on the village of Ehsim in northwestern Idlib province, the Syria Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Britain-based monitor said the toll was expected to rise, with the Syrian Revolution General Commission activist group saying the raids had hit a market.
Most of Idlib province is now under rebel control, after an alliance of opposition groups including al-Qaeda’s local affiliate evicted regime forces from their last strongholds.
Elsewhere, the Observatory said at least 13 people, including two children, were killed in strikes on the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Douma on Tuesday. The monitor said another 50 people were wounded, and that the death toll was likely to rise because a number of those hurt were in serious condition and other residents were still missing under rubble.
An AFP photographer at a field clinic in the suburb saw the body of a young girl lying on a stretcher, with her hand protruding from under a makeshift shroud fashioned from a blanket.
