“The Turkish forces stationed in the vicinity of the town of Sarmin, southeast of Idlib, targeted positions of the government forces in the city of Saraqib, east of Idlib, with ground-to-ground missiles,” opposition military sources told North Press.
“The al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted government forces’ sites in Zawiya Mountain area, south of Idlib, with heavy artillery shells,” the sources added.
