BEIRUT — Warplanes struck a hospital in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province on Sunday, knocking it out of service, as government forces continued to bombard the rebel-held region following insurgent attacks last week. The latest fighting has killed dozens of people and displaced tens of thousands in Idlib and nearby rebel-held areas, who fled to safer regions further north. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Russian warplanes were behind the attack on the main hospital in the rebel-held village of Hass. It said government and Russia bombardment killed at least six people on Sunday in different rebel-held areas. Two major highways that cut through rebel-held areas were supposed to be reopened before the end of 2018 but remain closed.
