Syrian Strike Hits Olive Press Near Idlib; Border Bombing Sends Hundreds Fleeing into Turkey 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Syrian airstrike hit an olive press near the northern city of Idlib
Tuesday, potentially killing and wounding dozens of people. One activist
said 20 people were killed and 50 wounded in the attack. On Monday,
Syrian warplanes bombed rebel bases near the Turkish border, sending
hundreds of panicked civilians fleeing into Turkey. Monday’s attacks
came a day before officials from Turkey and NATO were expected to start
scouting locations for possible missiles along the Turkish side of the
border.
