One emotional rescuer says the little girl, who is bloodied and covered in dust, is about one month old.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported at least six dead as air raids targeted Idlib City and the town of Jarjanaz in the eastern countryside of Idlib on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Syrian government forces and rebels waged fierce battles north of Aleppo on Sept. 30 a week into a Russian-backed offensive by the Syrian army to take the entire city.
