"Russian warplanes carried out air strikes on the western outskirts of Idlib city, targeting a military base belonging to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)... killing at least eight fighters," said the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike, which hit close to an Iranian cultural centre, had killed 15 people including civilians.

The airborne raid is the first such operation in Syrian regime-controlled areas, said the Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights.

Shelling of the rebel-held city of Afrin in northern Syria killed at least 18 people on Saturday, many of them when a hospital was hit, a war monitor said.

Syrian anti-aircraft defences on Saturday fired at 'enemy targets' over Damascus, state media said, as the UK-based the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported "probable Israeli air strikes".

Remaining civilians are expected to be evacuated from ISIS's final enclave in eastern Syria on Thursday, US-backed forces said, clearing the way for them to wipe out the last vestige of terrorist rule that once straddled Syria and Iraq.

Air strikes on a village in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province have killed at least 38 people overnight, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.

Air strikes killed at least 23 civilians including 10 children in a village held by the ISIS in northeastern Syria Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said.

Western strikes early Saturday hit Syrian military bases and research centres in and around the capital and the country's centre, a monitor said, as the US, France, and Britain announced a joint operation.

An early-morning strike on a Syrian government air base in the country's centre killed 14 fighters, including Iranian forces allied to the regime, a monitoring group said on Monday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor, said on Monday about 511,000 people had been killed in the Syrian war since it began seven years ago.

Syrian regime forces on Saturday cut off the largest town in Eastern Ghouta from the rest of the rebel-held enclave near Damascus, pressing on with a 20-day assault that has left more than 1,000 civilians dead.

Syrian forces pursued a relentless air and ground offensive against Eastern Ghouta on Thursday, moving closer to retaking the rebel enclave but also depriving desperate civilians of vital aid.

Syrian regime air strikes on the besieged rebel stronghold of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus killed more than 30 civilians including children on Sunday, a monitoring group said.

An elderly Pakistani man and his wife have fled Syria's embattled Eastern Ghouta, it emerged Thursday, the only known civilians to have left since a "humanitarian pause" took effect.
