“De-escalation zone” | Regime forces and factions trade fire on Sahl Al-Ghab frontlines, while regime forces shell Latakia countryside and southern Idlib frontlines

SOHR activists have reported that regime forces have fired artillery shells on the villages of Al-Fatirah, Fulayfel and Safuhan in Jabal Al-Zawiyah, south of Idlib.

Meanwhile, regime forces and Al-Fath Al-Mubin factions have exchanged mortar shells on Al-Kabbaneh frontline in Latakia countryside and on Al-Masharea frontlines in Sahl Al-Ghab, north-west of Hama. No further details have been reported about the number of casualties.

On May 20, SOHR activists documented the death of two regime soldiers and the injury of others, as a fighter of a jihadist group blew himself up after he had sneaked into a frontline in Jabal Al-Akrad in north Latakia countryside.
