Government shelling leaves wounded in Syria’s Idlib
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, three individuals were wounded as a result of artillery and missile shelling by Syrian government forces on areas in the northern countryside of Idlib, northwest Syria.
The government forces targeted the village of Ma’aret al-Na’asan, northeast of Idlib, with heavy artillery shells, military sources of the opposition told North Press.
As a result of the government shelling, three persons were critically wounded, and they were transferred to near medical points for treatment.
The shelling also led to the partial destruction of the houses in the targeted area, the sources added.
Today evening, the government forces, stationed in the Jurin Camp, shelled posts of Turkish-backed factions in the towns of Sermaniyah and Duwair al-Akrad, in Ghab Plain, west of Hama, the same sources noted.
Earlier today, the government forces shelled the factions’ posts in the villages and towns of Tel Wassit, al-Ziyara, al-Enkawi, and Khirbat al-Naqous in Ghab Plain, in the western countryside of Hama.
Meanwhile, al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room, which includes several factions, announced that they targeted military posts of the government forces in Khirbat Jadraya, in the eastern countryside of Idlib, with artillery shells.
For months, areas in Syria’s northwest have been witnessing mutual shelling between parties to the conflict in different areas amid news on government military reinforcements to different areas in the region.
Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.
