The regime forces continue shelling areas in triangle of Sahl al-Ghab – Jisr al-Shughur – Lattakia Mountains , where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored during the past few hours shelling by the regime forces targeted areas in the villages of Zayzoun, al-Sirmaniyah, and Qlidin in Sahl al-Ghab, which caused the death of a woman in Zayzoun village and injured other people, also areas in the western countryside of Jisr al-Shughur and several areas in the northern countryside of Latakia were shelled by the regime forces, which caused material damage, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that the shelling coincided with the continuation of bringing military reinforcements to Hama, Idlib, and Latakia by the regime forces, where they brought hundreds of soldiers, tens of armored vehicles and machinery, as part of the preparations for a military operation in the triangle that connects west Jisr al-Shughur, Sahl al-Ghab northwest of Hama, and the northern mountains of Latakia, also the delay in carrying out the operation came as a result of the shift of the control battles against the provinces of Daraa and Quneitra to al-Suwaidaa province.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published last night that explosions rocked areas in the triangle between the northern mountains of Lattakia, the west of Jisr Al-Shughur and Sahl Al-Ghab, caused by renewed artillery shelling by the regime forces on areas in it, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored shelling by the regime forces on areas in the villages of Qalidin and Zayzun, in Sahl Al-Ghab in the north-western countryside of Hama, which caused material damage, without information about casualties, while the Syrian Observatory published yesterday, that more explosions shook the triangle of north Latakia – west Jisr al-Shughur – Sahl al-Ghab, caused by the renew of targeting by the regime forces for areas in the vicinity of al-Najeya village in the western sector of Jisr al-Shughur in the western countryside of Idlib, which was carried out in conjunction with shelling by the regime forces for areas in Jabal al-Akrad in the northern countryside of Latakia, which caused material damage but no information about casualties.

The withdrawal of the Iranian officers and members loyal to them coincided with the arrival of the Russian military vehicles, accompanied by regime’s vehicles to Tal Rifaat area, where it is suggested that they came to switch regime’s military units in the area, also the sources added that the consultations are underway about completing the opening of Gaziantep road, which connects Turkey to the southern border of Syria with Jordan, and ending the presence of the Kurdish Forces in the northern countryside of Aleppo after their withdrawal from Afrin.
