Mutual shelling between government, opposition in Syria’s northwest
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – The de-escalation zone in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib, northwest Syria, continued to witness on Monday mutual shelling between the Turkish-backed Syrian opposition factions, known as the National Army (SNA), and the Syrian government forces on various axes.
According to what opposition sources told North Press, the government forces, using dozens of artillery shells and rockets, targeted opposition positions in the villages and towns of Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra, Benin, Ruweiha and Ma’rblit in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.
The shelling also targeted positions in the villages and towns of Tuqad, Sheikh Suleiman, Kafr Taal, Kafr Amma and the outskirts of Kafr Nouran in Aleppo western countryside.
Meanwhile, military sources of the National Front for Liberation told North Press that “al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted with heavy artillery shells and rockets the positions of the government forces in the villages of Hayer Derkil and Urum al-Sughra, west of Aleppo.”
The areas in the de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria continue to witness daily exchange of bombardment between the SNA factions and the government forces, despite being part of the ceasefire agreement signed between Russia and Turkey in March 2020, which stipulates a halt of military action in Idlib.
