622

BEIRUT, April 24, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Twelve people, all but one civilians,
were killed in an explosion in the jihadist-held region of Idlib in northwest
Syria on Wednesday, a war monitor said.

It was not clear if the cause of the blast near the market in the town of
Jisr al-Shughur was a car bomb, or a vehicle carrying explosives, the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
