Sky News witnesses horrors of Syria's last rebel outpost

VOICED: We start tonight in Syria -- where the regime has launched a major offensive in what could prove to be the final stages of the country's brutal civil war. Sky News has gained exclusive access to the bombardment of Idlib - the last rebel outpost in Syria - and witnessed first-hand the relentless attack on civilians. Troops from the Syrian regime - deliberately tracked and targeted our Special Correspondent Alex Crawford - and her crew - as they tried to report on the fighting - even though they were clearly identified as journalists. Sky News has gained exclusive access to the bombardment of Idlib - the last rebel outpost in Syria - and witnessed at first hand the relentless attack on civilians inside the Province. Officials in Idlib say an estimated 700,000 people have been forced to flee their homes over the past few weeks alone as the ceasefire agreed between the Syrian regime forces and rebel groups has spectacularly broken down. And the Sky crew was deliberately tracked and targeted by Syrian regime forces as they tried to report on the fighting - despite having clear media identification. Alex - her cameraman Kevin Sheppard and producers Martin Vowles and Mahmoud Mousa are in Idlib in Syria and sent this exclusive report.
