2021-08-14
[NPASYRIA] On Friday, Syrian government forces renewed their artillery and missile shelling of areas in Idlib, northwest Syria, while Turkish-backed armed faction targeted the government’s posts in the southern countryside of Idlib.

“The government forces, stationed in the surrounding checkpoints, targeted the factions’ posts in the villages and towns of al-Fatira, Kansafra, and Sfuhun in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, with heavy artillery shells and missiles,” military sources of the factions told North Press.

“The government shelling resulted in massive material losses, reporting no human casualties amidst intensive flight by Russian drones over the area,” the sources added.

Meanwhile, sources of al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room, which includes several armed factions, targeted the government’s sites in Jobas, east of Idlib, with mortars.

During the past 48 hours, other areas in Idlib witnessed a relative calm followed months of military escalation that left dozens of civilian casualties.
