The Turkish forces have established a new military point in south-west of Idlib, in Bisanqul area, near Aleppo-Latakia road, also known as the M4 highway.

On Wednesday, North-Press reported movements of Turkish vehicles at Sorman Silo Point in Idlib southern countryside.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the number of Turkish military points has increased to 37 points in the de-escalation zones in north-west of Syria.

Moreover, the Turkish backed armed opposition groups bombed, on Wednesday, the Syrian government forces-controlled areas in Aleppo’s western countryside, while the Russian warplanes conducted several raids on areas around al-Atarib and the outskirts of Darat Izza town, and other areas in the western countryside of Aleppo.

While the Syrian government forces brought new military reinforcements to the fronts of Idlib’s southern countryside, on Rakaya-Sijna axis, west of Khan Shaykhun.

"The clashes between us and the Syrian government forces on the axes of Idlib southern countryside did not subside, and the government forces took control over several points in Rakaya axis," Mahmoud al-Ahmad, a field commander of an armed opposition group, told North-Press, on Tuesday.

Al-Ahmad added: "We launched a counter attack on Rakaya axis, and we regained control over the points we had lost, and we also repelled several attacks by the Syrian government forces, on Sheikh Damis axis."

Whereas, on Wednesday, the Turkish forces carried out a missile attack on the Syrian government forces-controlled areas, on the axes west of Aleppo, without information regarding casualties, according to the Syrian Observatory.
