The regime’s helicopters bomb the southern countryside of Idlib about 4 weeks after the last aerial targeting to areas in the province

Idlib Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: violent explosions rocked the southern countryside of Idlib, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored that 3 helicopters dropped  several barrel bombs consecutively on areas in al-Tamanah town in the southern countryside of Idlib, which caused destruction in the property of citizens, and information about wounded, and this aerial bombardment comes less than a month after regime’s airstrikes by helicopters targeted areas in the western countryside of Jisr al-Shughur, at the beginning of the second of July 2018, following a violent attack by the Islamic factions on the regime forces in the northern Mountains of Latakia, adjacent to the western countryside of Idlib.

Intersected sources suggested to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that these strikes on the southern sector of Idlib, and the return of the aerial bombardment to the area, were the beginning of a military operation by the regime forces and their allies of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities in Idlib Province, after an operation took place months ago during which they controlled tens of villages and towns in the southern countryside of Idlib with the support of Russian Forces, and reached the eastern countryside of Idlib and Abu al-Duhur airbase, before the Turkish Forces were deployed in several areas in Idlib province, the northern and northwestern countryside of Hama, and areas connected to the foothills of Latakia mountains.
