The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SN4HR) wrote: “Ali al Zraiq, from Ma’ret Harma village in Idlib governorate southern suburbs, was killed as Syrian regime forces helicopters dropped barrel bombs on the vicinity of Abdin village in Idlib governorate southern suburbs, on May 7.”

In another post, the SN4HR said that Al Salam Mosque in the village was targeted, partially destroying its building and damaging the furniture.
