But Turkey’s Defence Ministry said the truce will go into effect on Sunday, without giving an explanation for the differing dates. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said seven people were killed by Saturday’s airstrikes in the province’s capital city, which is also named Idlib. Airstrikes killed seven people in the village of Binnish and another four in the village of Nairab. The Observatory is based in Britain and documents the war in Syria through a network of activists on the ground. The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, said the strike in Idlib city killed six and wounded 30, adding that it hit a busy intersection.
