2021-08-16
[NPASYRIA] On Sunday afternoon, the mutual shelling between the armed opposition factions and the Syrian government forces renewed in the countryside of Aleppo, Hama and Idlib, northwest Syria.

"The government forces bombed the towns of al-Bara, Balyon and Kansafra in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, with missiles and heavy artillery shells," opposition military sources told North Press.

"The bombing coincided with intense flight of Russian reconnaissance planes and warplanes over Idlib and the countryside of Hama, Aleppo and Latakia," the sources added.

In Aleppo, forces of the Syrian government in the 46th Regiment targeted the positions of the opposition factions in the towns of Fafertin and Kafr Amma in the western countryside, with artillery shells.

The al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room, which includes several factions, announced that it targeted the positions of the government forces on the Hantotin and Jurin areas in the southern countryside of Idlib and western Hama, with rockets and artillery shells.

The sources indicated that the al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room also targeted gatherings of the government forces in the town of Bastron, west of Aleppo, with heavy artillery shells.
