Turkey finds new military post in Syria’s northwest
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, Turkish forces established a new military post in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, northwest Syria, which is subjected to a ceasefire agreement.
The Turkish forces established the new post in the area between the towns of Ehsim and al-Bara near the frontlines with Syrian government forces, which are stationed in the city of Kafr Nubul, south of Idlib, according to a military source from Turkish-backed armed groups.
The Turkish forces constructed berms on the outskirts of the new post, which they built on a high place, the source added.
This is the third post to be established in al-Bara, bringing the number of Turkish posts in Zawiya Mountain to 18, which are scattered in villages near the frontlines with the government forces.
In addition, there are 65 Turkish posts deployed in Idlib, Hama, Aleppo, and Latakia countryside, according to local military sources.
The establishment of this new Turkish post coincided with the arrival of government military reinforcements to fight points amidst unprecedented escalation of mutual ground bombardment between the government forces and armed groups.
On May 24, Turkish forces established a military post in the village of Ziyadiyah in Jisr al-Shughur, west of Idlib.
