By AFPMore by this AuthorBEIRUT, LEBANONAir strikes that hit a school in rebel-held Idlib province in northwest Syria killed 22 children and six teachers, the UN children's agency Unicef said Wednesday. Syrian government forces and their Russian ally have been accused by rights groups of carrying out indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure. The latest attacks took to 89 the number of civilians killed in air strikes on Idlib province in the past seven days, said the Observatory. Syrian and Russian warplanes regularly bomb Idlib, but air strikes have intensified in recent weeks, according to the Observatory. But it has since evolved into a multi-front war, pitting jihadists, rebels, government forces and Kurdish militia against each other.
