According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, six civilians, including two children, were killed when regime forces fired rockets at random camps for displaced people in northwestern Syria.
A correspondent for the French press agency who was on site said rockets hit a camp and gatherings of displaced people in the Kafr Jalis area, west of the city of Idlib, in the early morning.
Civil defense teams and local residents rushed to rescue the wounded and take them to nearby hospitals, where an AFP correspondent saw two girls, their bodies wrapped in blankets and lying on the ground.
The bombing killed six displaced people, including two children, and injured more than 20, according to the Syrian Observatory, which said more than 30 rockets hit several areas west of the city of Idlib, including camps.
The rocket attack, according to the observatory, came one day after the deaths of five members of the regime forces in a bombardment by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group of their positions southwest of Idlib.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) and other less powerful opposition groups control about half of Idlib and limited areas adjacent to the governorates of Hama, Aleppo and Latakia.
Three million people live in the region, about half of whom are internally displaced.
And since March 6, a ceasefire has been in place in rebel-controlled areas, declared by Moscow, an ally of Damascus, and Turkey, which supports the warring factions, after a massive attack by regime forces, during which they managed to control half of the territory of Idlib.
