“De-escalation zone” | Opposition factions kill regime soldier and attack positions in Idlib and Hama countryside

Syrian Observatory activists have documented the death of regime soldier after being shot by jihadists on Al-Malajah frontline in southern Idlib. Meanwhile, opposition factions destroyed, with a guided missile, a regime heavy machinegun on Al-Omqiyyah frontline in Sahl Al-Ghab in the north-western countryside of Hama.

 

Moreover, rebels fired several mortars on regime positions in Al-Bahsah village in Sahl Al-Ghab in western Hama, and other positions in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in Idlib countryside, leaving casualties.

 

On the other hand, regime forces shelled Al-Faterah village and the surrounding areas of Kansafra town and other areas in Jabal Al-Zawiyah. No casualties have been reported so far.

 

Also, SOHR activists have reported seeing Russian jets flying in the evening over the “de-escalation zone”.

 

Syrian Observatory sources have reported earlier this morning exchange of fire with heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, between regime forces and loyalists on one side, oppositions factions and jihadist groups on the other, on frontlines of al-Amaqiya in Sahl Al-Ghab, north-west of Hama, and on frontlines in Jabal al-Zawiyah in the southern countryside of  Idlib.
