President Donald Trump on Dec. 26 warned Russia, Syria, and Iran against killing innocent civilians in Syria’s Idlib Province, which has seen intensifying levels of bombardment and is the last major rebel pocket.
On Dec. 1, Syrian government forces launched a renewed effort to take the province, which is dominated by militants linked to the al-Qaida terrorist group and is also home to 3 million civilians. There is also a growing risk of a humanitarian catastrophe along the Turkish border, the United Nations has previously warned.
