Northwest Syria witnesses shelling between government and opposition
2022-01-20
[NPASyria] On Wednesday, the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria witnessed military escalation and mutual shelling between the Syrian government forces and the Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition factions.

The government forces, from their positions in the Regiment 46, bombed the opposition factions’ sites in the towns of Kafr Amma, Kafr Ta’al and Kafr Noran, west of Aleppo, with heavy artillery and missiles, opposition military sources told North Press.

The opposition factions’ sites near the towns of Qoqfin and al-Bara in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, were also hit with the government forces’ shelling, the sources added.

Similarly, the opposition factions’ sites in the town of Sarmaniya, west of Hama, were bombed. No casualties were reported though.

al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room bombed the military points of the government forces near the Regiment 46 in the western countryside of Aleppo, with heavy artillery and missiles, the sources noted.

During the past few days, the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria witnessed relative calm regarding the mutual shelling between the two sides of the conflict, after months of military escalation.

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 despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.
