Turkey establishes new military post in Syria's northwest
2021-06-09
[NPASYRIA] On Tuesday, Ottoman Turkish forces established a new military post in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, northwest Syria, which is subjected to a ceasefire agreement.

The Ottoman Turkish forces established the new post in the area between the towns of Ehsim and al-Bara near the frontlines with Syrian government forces, which are stationed in the city of Kafr Nubul, south of Idlib, according to a military source from Ottoman Turkish-backed gangs.

The Ottoman Turkish forces constructed berms on the outskirts of the new post, which they built on a high place, the source added.

This is the third post to be established in al-Bara, bringing the number of Ottoman Turkish posts in Zawiya Mountain to 18, which are scattered in villages near the frontlines with the government forces.

In addition, there are 65 Ottoman Turkish posts deployed in Idlib, Hama, Aleppo, and Latakia countryside, according to local military sources.

The establishment of this new Ottoman Turkish post coincided with the arrival of government military reinforcements to fight points amidst unprecedented escalation of mutual ground bombardment between the government forces and gangs.

On May 24, Ottoman Turkish forces established a military post in the village of Ziyadiyah in Jisr al-Shughur, west of Idlib.
