The OSDH confirmed the death of "seven people including four children from the same family, two men and an unidentified person (...) following Russian airstrikes" in the Jisr al-Choughour sector.
According to the director of the OSDH, Rami Abdel Rahmane, the children were under ten years old and six of the seven victims were civilians. Other people are still under the rubble, he said.
The victims were mostly displaced Syrians from the neighboring province of Hama, according to the same source.
"My children are gone... the people closest to my heart are gone," laments Ayham Mozan, 31, who lost his three daughters and son.
His family was sleeping when the first strike hit his house, he told AFP, lying on a hospital bed in Darkouch, on the Turkish border.
After the first strike, Mr. Mozan rescued his wife from the rubble, but could not find his children.
"I thought it was a nightmare, we crawled out" before the second strike, adds the bereaved father.
The targeted house was completely destroyed, according to an AFP correspondent on the spot.
Scattered toys, furniture and clothing were visible among the rubble.
Russia, allied with Syria for decades, is the main support of Bashar al-Assad's regime and has been intervening militarily in the country since 2015.
About half of the province of Idleb, as well as parts of the provinces of Aleppo, Hama and Latakia are controlled by factions opposed to the regime in Damascus, such as Hayat Tahrir al-Cham, the former Syrian branch of Al -Qaeda.
This area is also home to rebel groups, supported to varying degrees by Turkey, and other jihadist formations, such as Houras al-Din.
All these factions have already been the target of air raids by the Syrian regime, its Russian ally, but also by the international anti-jihadist coalition and the United States itself.
Since its outbreak in 2011, the Syrian conflict has killed around half a million people, devastated infrastructure and caused the largest displacement of people since World War II.
