Government forces shell opposition sites in Syria’s Latakia, Idlib
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday morning, Syrian government forces shelled opposition sites in the countryside of Idlib and Latakia, northwest Syria.
The government forces, stationed in Kafranbel town, shelled opposition sites in the towns of Urm al-Joz, Ma’tarm, Eblin and Kansafra in the southern countryside of Idlib, opposition sources told North Press.
The government forces, positioned in the military 46th Regiment, fired heavy artillery shells on oppositions sites in the towns of Kafr Ammah and Kafr Nuran in the west of Aleppo.
Al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted government military sites in Meznaz town and Ajel village in the western countryside of Aleppo with artillery shells.
It also targeted government military sites in Saraqib city in the eastern countryside of Idlib.
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.
