The raid comes amidst ongoing clashes between Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly al-Nusra Front) and Syrian government forces in the northern, eastern, and western countryside of Hama, central Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Details of the Attack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local sources confirmed that Russian warplanes carried out at least seven airstrikes targeting Idlib and its southern countryside today. The attacks also extended to the Ghab Plain region in western Hama, with continuous aerial activity reported by a joint Syrian-Russian military campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A North Press correspondent reported that today\u2019s raids resulted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ma&#8217;arrat al-Nu&#8217;man: 1 dead, 4 injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General toll in Idlib and southern countryside: 3 killed, 8 injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HTS Advances in Hama<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/119141\/\">Earlier today<\/a>, HTS announced its capture of two Alawite-majority towns in Hama, as part of its broader offensive against Syrian government forces.
