IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – Members of the Syrian government forces were killed and wounded, at Friday night, in sporadic targeting by the Turkish-backed armed opposition groups in Idlib and Hama countryside, northwestern Syria, within the de-escalation zone.
Military sources from the armed groups told North Press that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) destroyed a (180 mm artillery gun S-23) for the government forces by a guided missile on Milaja frontline in the southern countryside of Idlib.
The sources indicated that the targeting resulted in the death of one member and the wounding of others from the government forces who were near the target.
In the context, other sources in the armed opposition said that the Ansar al-Tawhid group managed to snipe a member of the government forces on Milaja frontline as well.
Military sources in the National Front for Liberation reported that, on Saturday, the Al-Fateh al-Mubin operations room has destroyed by a guided missile, a bus full of government and Russian forces personnel near Jurin camp in Ghab Plain, west of Hama governorate.
On Friday, Government forces targeted opposition fortifications in the villages and towns of Faetira, Sofhon, Kensafra, and Bara in the de-escalation zone with shells and missiles, an opposition military source told North Press.
The de-escalation zone has been recently witnessing military buildup and mutual shelling between the government forces and the opposition groups in Idlib, Hama, Aleppo, and Latakia.
