Idlib is the District 9 of Syria, where the hard core islamists were given asylum with their families by the busloads when the Syrians and Russians cleaned them out of the cities and towns they held in cruel bondage. Civilians were their shields. Looks like Idlib civilians are now suffering the price, but there is probably no other way to defeat this scourge, Except giving them British passports, perhaps
The worse thing could have been them getting American passports
