Shelling between government, opposition continue in Syria’s northwest
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – De-escalation zone in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib in northwest Syria witnessed on Monday mutual shelling between Syrian government forces and Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, known as Syrian National Army (SNA), amid frequent Russian flight over the region.
According to what an opposition source told North Press, the government forces fired artillery shells and rockets at opposition positions in the villages and towns of Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra, Benin, Fleifel al-Ruweiha and al-Bara in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.
The source said that the government forces also shelled positions in the villages and towns of al-Habatah, Kafr Amma, Kafr Nouran, Tuqad, Maklabis, Sheikh Suleiman, al-Wasatah, al-Qasr, al-Atarib and Base 111 in the western countryside of Aleppo.
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 Base 46 and the village of Urum al-Sughra in the west of Aleppo.
Al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room includes the National Front for Liberation, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Jaysh al-Izza. The military bloc is active in northwest Syria in general.
The mutual bombardment between the two sides coincided with a frequent flight of Russian reconnaissance planes over the targeted areas.
