Mutual bombardment renews in de-escalation zone northwest Syria
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, Syrian government forces renewed shelling against opposition-controlled areas in Idlib and Aleppo countryside, northwest Syria.
The government forces, stationed in the 46th Regiment, targeted the two towns of Kafr Ta’al and Tedil, and the 111th Regiment in the western countryside of Aleppo with heavy artillery and mortar shells, military sources told North Press.
The government forces, stationed in Jurin Camp, shelled the towns of al-Hamidiyah and al-Ziyarah, in Ghab Plain area, west of Hama.
The bombing concentrated on contact lines with armed opposition factions, accompanied by Russian drones’ flight over the area, while no casualties were reported, the sources said.
In the early morning, al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room announced targeting government forces’ positions in al-Arbikh town, in the eastern countryside of Idlib, and Bsatroun area west of Aleppo.
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.
