The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published hours ago that Russian – Turkish truce continues for the 20th day, and in addition to the daily violations by the regime forces, areas of the truce witnessed the displacement of tens of families, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored hundreds of families from the villages and towns of Zayzoun, al-Qarqour, Frika, al-Ziyadiyyeh, al-Sahn, and the vicinity of the Power Plant in the countryside of Jisr al-Shughur and Sahl al-Ghab northwest of Hama, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that these families had returned to their villages a while ago, after the calm that prevailed the area as a result of stopping the shelling on the triangle of Latakia Mountains – Jisr al-Shughur –Sahl al-Ghab, after they had displaced previously from them due to the military operations of shelling, clashes, and lack of livelihoods.
These families who have returned to their towns and villages during the last 48 hours, have been forced to re-displace once again, after the escalation of targeting in the area and with the massive mobilization by the regime forces and the militiamen loyal to them in the area, as a part of their preparations for the grand battle of Idlib, where the Syrian Observatory monitored the displacement of more than 200 families from the area towards nearby villages or surrounding areas, and to camps nearby or to the north of their areas, after their return to their areas not long ago.
