Jets struck a busy market place in the rebel-held Syrian city of Idlib on Saturday, killing at least twenty five people, including children and women, and injuring dozens, rescue workers and residents said. An airstrike on the rebel-held Syrian city Idlib has killed at least 25. 
Two civil defence workers told Reuters via internet that bodies were still being pulled out of the rubble of collapsed buildings in a market place in the city that is the provincial capital of the northwestern province of Idlib. Jets struck a busy market place, with suggestions that 80 people have been injured, including many children and women, Middle East Eye reported.
One resident and rescue workers say they thought that the jets were Russian, which they said can be identified by their high altitude flying in sorties, unlike Syrian helicopters that hit at lower altitudes. Two civil defence workers said bodies were still being pulled out of the rubble of collapsed buildings in the area, so the death toll may continue to rise. 
In recent weeks aerial bombing on villages and towns in the province run by a coalition of mostly Islamist brigades under the banner of Jaish al Fateh army (Army of Conquest) have escalated and left dozens of dead and injured, residents and civil defence workers say. One resident and rescue worker said the high altitude of the jet would indicate the attacker was most likely a Russian jet, as Syrian helicopters fly much lower.
