Turkish forces deployed in the Idlib countryside bombed Syrian government forces’ positions south of Idlib

On Monday, Ottoman Turkish forces deployed in the Idlib countryside bombed Syrian government forces’ positions south of Idlib in response to intense shelling carried out by the latter on sites near Ottoman Turkish points.

Ottoman Turkish forces stationed in their points around the town of al-Bara bombed military positions of the Syrian government forces near the city of Kafr Nabl south of Idlib, with heavy artillery shells, destroying a tank, killing soldiers inside, and wounding others nearby, military sources in the opposition told North Press.

The Ottoman Turkish bombardment came in response to the killing and wounding of about 15 civilians, including women, as a result of artillery shelling with guided laser missiles carried out by Russian forces stationed in the town of Basqala, south of Idlib, on the towns of al-Bara and Ahsem where Ottoman Turkish forces are deployed, according to the sources.

Pro-Ottoman Turkish armed opposition factions bombarded positions of the government forces near Khan al-Sabil, Basqala, Hantoutin and al-Dar al-Kabira, south of Idlib, with heavy artillery and rocket launchers.

Government forces continued their artillery and missile bombardment on villages and towns of al-Fatira, Kafr Awed, Kansafra, and al-Bara in Zawiya Mountain in the southern countryside of Idlib, which led to the injury of a civilian in al-Bara.

The bombing is part of a campaign of escalation of Syrian government and Russian forces in southern Idlib and northwestern of Hama villages and towns, which began early this month in those areas with Ottoman Turkish troops and military points.
