Idlib, town and capital of Idlib muḥāfaẓah (governorate), northwestern Syria. It is situated in a fertile basin midway between Aleppo and Latakia and is an important textile centre and a market for one of Syria’s better agricultural districts. Major crops include cotton, cereals, olives, figs, grapes, tomatoes, sesame, and almonds. Local industries include spinning and olive-oil pressing. During the Syrian Civil War, the town grew in importance when the surrounding region became the last stronghold of the various Syrian rebel groups in 2018. Pop. (2003 est.) 116,080.
