Government forces, opposition exchange shelling in Syria's Idlib
[NPASYRIA] On Tuesday, the de-escalation zones in Idlib, northwest Syria, witnessed mutual shelling between Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition groups and Syrian government forces, amid reports of the arrival of military reinforcements for the government forces to the area.

The government forces targeted sites of opposition groups in the towns of Sufuhn, al-Fatira and Kafr Oweid in Zawiya Mountain region, south of Idlib, with rockets and heavy artillery shells, military sources of the opposition told North Press.

The bombing caused massive material damage to public and private properties, and coincided with intense flight of Russian drones and warplanes over the area, the sources added.

The gangs, in turn, targeted the sites of the Syrian government forces in the cities of Ma’arat al-Nu’man and Kafr Nabl, south of Idlib, with heavy artillery shells, a military source of the opposition told North Press.

During the past 48 hours, the government forces had brought in new military reinforcements to their positions in Zawiya Mountain, Ghab Plain, Jabal al-Akrad and Turkmen Mountain north of Latakia, according to the same source
