Turkish and Syrian armies trade attacks in Idlib as situation worsens
2020-01-02
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish and Syrian armies have traded attacks in the eastern countryside of the Idlib Governorate today, with both sides firing heavy artillery at one another.

According to a field report from northwest Syria, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) heavily shelled the eastern countryside of Idlib Governorate, as some of their artillery shells hit the Ottoman Turkish observation post at Ma’ar Hathat.

In response, the Ottoman Turkish military fired several artillery shells towards the Syrian Army’s positions near the Jarjanaz front in southeastern Idlib.

The Syrian Army was also attacked from the Ottoman Turkish military’s observation post in the town of Sarman, which is currently besieged from all sides by the government forces.

#3  A little military action always looks good on the evening news and gets your name in the papers.

The Field Artillery Officers and FO's must have been Gulenists.

#1  firing artillery but not killing many

Deaths from the civil war in Syria dropped to about 11,000 in 2019 which is horrible (except that perhaps 10% or so were genuine terrorists whose death is a benefit to humanity) but not as horrible as the 70+k deaths in 2013 and 2014 (per the various monitoring groups).
