Syria’s civil war has been raging for 7 years. What’s behind it?

“Beyond imagination.”

That is how the U.N. has described the onslaught by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on the rebel enclave of eastern Ghouta, which is located in a so-called "de-escalation zone."

The intensifying bombing campaign around 10 miles from the country’s capital has killed and wounded hundreds in just a few days.

Idlib, a city in the northwest of the country where many people from Aleppo were relocated to after a rebel-held area there fell in Dec. 2016, is also bracing for a major government attack.
