IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – About 10 people, including children, were wounded on Thursday in intense shelling by the Syrian government forces on areas in Idlib Governorate, northwest Syria.
A local source told North Press that the government forces fired artillery shells and rockets at opposition positions in the villages and towns of Maarbalit , Majdalia, Moataf, and San, in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.
“The shelling of Majdalia resulted in wounding seven people. Furthermore, three children were also wounded due a similar shelling of Maarbalit south Idlib, and the village of Sahen west Idlib,” the source added.
“The residents took the wounded people to the hospitals of Idlib and Ariha.”
The government forces also targeted the villages and towns of Tuqad, al-Wasatah, al-Qasr, Kafr Amma, and Maklabis in the western countryside of Aleppo. Villages of Enkawi, Qarqur, and al-Hamidiyah in al-Ghab Plain, west of Hama, were subjected to similar bombardment.
Meanwhile, a source of the National Front for Liberation told North Press that al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted with heavy artillery the government forces’ positions in the town of Shathah, west of Hama, and Dadikh east of Idlib.”
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.
