Syria’s war: Government forces launch counteroffensive in Idlib

As the fighting intensifies in Syria, civilians have been killed by shelling and air strikes in the rebel-held Idlib province.

A five-month-old baby was pulled out alive from the rubble of a bombed building in the city of Idlib.

The Syrian army has launched a counteroffensive in Hama after losing territory to the rebels.

Activists say strikes have also increased on residential areas of Rastan in Homs province.
