Mutual shelling between government, SNA continues in NW Syria
2023-03-10
[NPASyria] De-escalation zone in the countryside of Hama, Aleppo, and Idlib in northwestern Syria witnessed on Wednesday night a renewal of mutual shelling between Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) factions and government forces in many positions.

Military sources from the Syrian opposition told North Press that the government forces, from their positions at the surrounding checkpoints, targeted the villages and towns of Kafr Nouran Tuqad, Rehab, Kafr Taal, and Kafr Amma in the western countryside of Aleppo with dozens of artillery and missile shells.

The government forces targeted the villages and towns of al-Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, and Kansafra in Zawiya Mountain south of Idlib, and the outskirts of the towns of Maarat al-Naasan and Afes east of Idlib, the sources added.

Meanwhile,

military sources from al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room told North Press that their factions targeted, with heavy artillery shells and rocket launchers, the positions of the government forces in the town of Kafroma south of Idlib, the village of al-Amqiyah west of Hama, and Base 46 west of Aleppo.

Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment between Syrian government forces and opposition factions accompanied by Russian warplanes’ flight despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.

reached an agreement in Moscow that stipulated a ceasefire, the establishment of a safe corridor, and the conduct of joint patrols on the M4/Aleppo-Latakia Highway.
