Ishtabraq Massacre

In late April 2015, militants of Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamist allies in the "army of conquest" that had just conquered Idlib and Jisr al-Shughour in Idlib province, also took control of an Alawite village named Ishtabraq on about April 25. They reportedly lost it soon after, but re-took it again on the 29th. In each case they reportedly executed many inhabitants and took many others captive, and reportedly used chemical weapons in the process. Details are still sketchy.

Location: just SW of Jisr al-Shughour - on Wikimapia, labeled as an Alawi village.
