DAMASCUS, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Russian warplanes targeted positions of the al-Qaida-linked rebel groups in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib on Tuesday, a war monitor reported.
The Russian war jets targeted training camps of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the umbrella group of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, in the northern countryside of Idlib, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The airstrikes wounded several members of the HTS, added the Observatory.
Idlib has emerged as the last major rebel stronghold in Syria. The HTS is the strongest rebel group in Idlib. Enditem
