[EN.ANNAHAR] A large Ottoman Turkish military convoy rumbled into rebel-held areas of northwest Syria on Sunday, witnesses on the ground and activists said.

s on a rebel-held village in Syria’s northwest killed at least seven people, opposition activists said. Elsewhere, rebel shelling killed a woman and maimed at least three journalists, Syrian state TV reported.

The violence and troop movements came amid a Syrian government offensive into the country’s last rebel stronghold, located in Idlib province and parts of the nearby Aleppo region. Ottoman Turkish troops are deployed in some of those rebel-held areas to monitor a cease-fire that has since collapsed.

and Syria have deteriorated sharply since Syria’s civil war began in 2011. Syria accuses Turkey of undermining its security by allowing thousands of imported muscle to come battle the Syrian army. Idlib province is currently dominated by al-Qaeda-linked bully boys.
