The Syrian government sent more military reinforcements to the outskirts of rebel-held Idlib province Monday, ahead of an offensive expected in the next few days against militants there, activists said.

Further north in the province, the death toll from Sunday’s explosion in Sarmada rose to 67 people killed as rescue workers found more victims buried under the rubble.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the regime had sent reinforcements to areas surrounding Idlib, including the outskirts of Hama, the Al-Ghab plains and the Latakia countryside.

The government is expected to launch an offensive in the direction of Jisr al-Shughur in the “incoming few days,” it said.
