'Five dead' in airstrikes

Syrian government forces bombed a strategic rebel town in the country’s north for the third straight day, pounding it with airstrikes that killed at least five people, activists said.
President Bashar Assad’s troops in recent weeks have seized the momentum in the civil war, now in its third year. Regime forces have been on the offensive against rebels on several fronts, including in the northern Idlib province along the border with Turkey.
