Syria’s northwest witnesses mutual bombing between government and opposition
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, mutual bombing took place between Syrian government forces and Turkish-backed opposition factions in the de-escalation zone in the northwest of the country.
The Syrian government forces bombed the opposition factions’ sites in the villages and towns of Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra and Fleifel in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, with heavy artillery and rockets, informed sources told North Press.
The opposition sites in the village of al-Enkawi in the Ghab Plain, west of Hama, were bombed by the government forces. The bombing also hit the villages and towns of Kafr Amma, Tuqad, Kafr Nuran and Kafr Ta’al, west of Aleppo, according to the sources.
The al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room bombed the government forces’ sites in the Regiment 46, west of Aleppo, with heavy artillery and mortar shells, the sources added.
The factions also targeted the Syrian government forces’ sites near Milaja in the southern part of Zawiya Mountain, according to the 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.
