Idlib province: SOHR sources have reported that nine people, including at least two children and a woman, were killed in the “security” operation that has been conducted by the International Coalition in Idlib province in the past few hours.

The operation began at midnight (Damascus local time) and continued until 03:30 AM during which the International Coalition conducted an airdrop near Atamah region at Iskenderun border in the north countryside of Idlib province.

SOHR sources say that the operation has been similar to that one which targeted Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in Idlib in 2019.

The Coalition aircraft took part in the operation by targeting the area with five airstrikes. Meanwhile, the identity of the targeted people and their destiny have remained unknown till now.

SOHR sources confirmed the attack targeted a two-story building while no confirmed information about the identity of the dead people was revealed, amid the presence of scattered mutilated bodies. Also, it has not been confirmed yet whether the children and the woman were belonging to the targeted families.
