Sky journalist and crew deliberately shot at by Syrian government

Footage shows Alex Crawford and her team under intense bombardment in Idlib

The Sky news journalist Alex Crawford and her camera crew were deliberately targeted by the Syrian government and repeatedly shot at while reporting on the regime's assault on the province of Idlib.

Crawford said she and her five-person team came under intense bombardment on Thursday when a Syrian military drone spotted them in the town of al-Habit. The area in the Idlib countryside is in a buffer zone between opposition and government forces. It is meant to be battle-free.
