And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published on the 19th of April 2018, that a violent explosion shook the industrial area in Idlib city, caused the smoke to rise from the place where the explosion took place and injured about 20 people and some of them were seriously injured. The information is conflicted about the cause of the explosion, where sources talked about an explosion of a car believed to be booby-trapped in the industrial area of Idlib city, while other sources suggested that it was caused by a missile targeting a from a drone, where city Idlib has been witnessing several explosions of this kind in the past days and weeks, and the Syrian Observatory published on the 13th of April 2018 that a violent explosion was heard in Idlib city, it was caused by an IED explosion near the canned food factory, which caused material damage but no information about casualties, while a child died as a result of the explosion that hit Idlib city, where the Observatory documented the death of 32 people (including 29 people including 23 children and women), they were killed as a result of an explosion that hit the area near al-Matlaq roundabout in Idlib city and caused a massacre in which 32 persons at least were killed, and the death toll is expected to rise because there are some people in critical situation, also the Syrian Observatory documented the death of at least 43 persons, who were killed in Idlib city, as a result of an explosions that targeted the Ajnad Al-Quqaz faction (The Caucasian Soldiers), headquarter in 30th Street in Idlib city, on the 7th of January 2018, including 27 citizens at least including 14 children at least and 7 citizen women, while the death toll is expected to increase as a result of presence of dozens of injured people in serious conditions.
