Fighting in northwest Syria kill scores of fighters
2019-06-29
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Syrian government forces and snuffies fought fierce battles that left dozens dead in the country’s northwest on Friday as troops tried to regain control of two villages they lost earlier this month, state media and an opposition war monitor said.

Syrian state news agency SANA said the army carried out "intense rocket and artillery strikes" on murderous Moslem positions on the front line in the central province of Hama and nearby Idlib that is the last major rebel stronghold in Syria’s civil war, now In its ninth year.

SANA said the aim of the bombing is to destroy fortifications built by murderous Moslems, many of them members of the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
, or HTS. It said the strikes were mostly near the villages of Jubayn and Tel Milh adding that they inflicted many casualties among the murderous Moslems.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said troops were trying to capture the villages of Jubayn and Tel Milh launching an offensive around dawn on Friday. The group said during Friday’s fighting alone, 51 troops and pro-government button men were killed as well as 45 murderous Moslems.

Syrian government forces launched an offensive against the rebel-held territory in late April, leading to the collapse of a cease-fire negotiated by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Russia last year.

The violence has forced an estimated 330,000 people to flee their homes since late April, moving toward the Ottoman Turkish border, according to the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
. Several health facilities were targeted in the violence.

More than 2,000 people including 532 civilians have been killed on both sides since the offensive began on April 30, according to the Observatory.

On Thursday, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said a Ottoman Turkish soldier was killed in an artillery strike by Syrian government forces in northwestern Idlib province.

The strike hit a Ottoman Turkish observation post. The attack marked the first Ottoman Turkish death in a Syrian government attack since it launched an offensive to retake Idlib two months ago.

The ministry said late on Thursday that three soldiers were maimed in the attack and have been evacuated from Syria. It said Ankara warned Turkey would respond with "heaviest punishment."
