A military source told North Press that trucks carrying military equipment, guard cabins and transport vehicles left the control point in Sarman village towards their points in Zawiya Mountain area of the southern Idlib countryside.
The source added that the Turkish soldiers worked to dismantle the Sarman point more than five days ago, in preparation for its evacuation.
