Government forces bomb opposition factions in northwest Syria
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, Syrian government forces bombed sites of Turkish-backed armed factions in different areas of northwest Syria, causing material damage in the targeted areas.
The government forces, stationed in the town of Kafranbel, bombed the opposition factions’ sites in the towns of Iblin and al-Fatira in the Zawiya Mountain area, in the southern countryside of Idlib, with Krasnopol shells, opposition sources told North Press.
The fortifications of the factions near the town of Khirbet al-Naqus, west of Hama, were hit with a similar bombing by the government.
The bombing resulted in the damage of more than 10 houses, in addition to targeting the contact points with the opposition factions, amid intense flight of Russian and Iranian drones over the area, according to the same sources.
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.
