Syria rebels blow up bridges to hamper expected Idlib assault

Rebels from Syria's Idlib have blown up two key bridges in a bid to hamper an expected government assault on the country's last remaining rebel-held province, a monitor said on Friday. The bridges over the Orontes River linked areas of neighbouring Hama province, under government control, to rebel-held territory in Idlib, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The bridges were located in the Al-Ghab plain, which straddles Hama and Idlib provinces and could be one of the first targets of any government offensive.
