Citizen journalist among 18 civilians killed in northwest Syria.
A young citizen journalist was among 18 civilians killed in air raids on Syria's jihadist-run Idlib region Sunday, rescue workers and a monitor said, as he filmed the bombardment of the battered enclave.
The White Helmets, rescue workers in rebel areas named after their distinctive hard hats, said the group"mourns the fall of a hero Anas al-Dyab, a volunteer and media activist with the Syrian Civil Defence Centre in Idlib", in a Twitter post. The spike in violence has killed more than 630 civilians, caused tens of thousands to flee there homes, and damaged or knocked out of service two dozen health facilities.
But Dyab"chose to remain with his fellow volunteers in Khan Sheikhun till today," the White Helmets said. It said the death toll from the day's bombings could rise further as dozens of people were wounded, some severely, with some trapped under rubble.But Moscow and Damascus accuse the group of backing rebels and jihadists.
