Jul 19, 2023
[NPASyria] ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish forces sent on Tuesday a military convoy carrying military and logistic equipment to the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria in conjunction with a military escalation occurring in the region.

Military sources told North Press that a convoy consisting of over 40 military and logistic vehicles, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, and tanks entered through the Kafr Lossin border crossing into Syrian territories and headed to the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish positions in Zawiya Mountain in the south of Idlib.

The sources noted that the convoy carried four tanks, 15 armored vehicles, rocket launchers, several trucks, and vehicles carrying military bulldozers. It is expected the convoy will be deployed in positions opposite the contact lines with the Syrian government forces in Zawiya Mountain.

On July 15, the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish forces sent a military convoy consisting of 15 military vehicles to their military positions in the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo in northwest Syria amid continuous escalation in the region.

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.

In March 2020, Russia and ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
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.

...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
northwestern Idlib.A source told North Press, "The ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish border guards did not pay attention to the individuals scaling the border wall, only to arrest them upon entering ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish territory. They were then transported to an observation center located near the village of Khirbat al-Jouz."

The source added that among those detained were two members affiliated with HTS who were trying to leave Idlib and defect from the murderous Moslem group.

The source mentioned that the total number of detainees reached 17, including three women with their children.

The source indicated that it is expected that the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish intelligence will hand over the detained HTS members to the group via the Bab al-Hawa crossing, given that both parties engage in near-daily coordination.
