The head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent branch in the northern town of Idlib was shot dead Wednesday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

Abdulrazak Jbero was shot while riding in a “vehicle clearly marked with a Red Crescent emblem,” said a Red Cross statement.

Syria’s state-run media blamed “terrorists” for the attack.

Also Wednesday, government forces clashed with army defectors and stormed rebellious districts in central Syria, firing mortars and deploying snipers in violence that killed at least seven people, including a mother and her 5-year-old child, activists said. The Associated Press
