Heavy artillery shelling | Regime forces bombard villages in Idlib countryside

This morning, regime forces fired heavy artillery shells on Al-Bara village in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in southern Idlib countryside.

Regime forces also bombarded the vicinity of Neirab village in eastern Idlib countryside in the “de-escalation” zone. No further details were reported about the number of casualties and material damage caused by the shelling.

Regime shelling coincided with an intensive flight by Russian reconnaissance aircraft over Jabal Al-Zawiyah, Sahl Al-Ghab and Jabal Al-Akrad.

Yesterday, SOHR sources in the “de-escalation zone” reported rocket fire by regime forces in the early hours of Friday morning on positions in Fulayfel, Bayanin and Al-Fterah in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in the southern countryside of Idlib.

On the other hand, factions of “Al-Fath Al-Mubin” operations room and regime forces exchanged heavy and medium machinegun fire on the frontline of Kabana in Jabal Al-Akrad in north Latakia countryside. However, no casualties were reported.

Yesterday, SOHR activists reported that two children were injured as regime forces fired a heat-seeking missile at a car carrying olive workers in Maarabalit village in east Idlib countryside.

Hours earlier, SOHR activists reported that a child was injured in artillery shelling by regime and Russian forces, targeting civilian homes in Al-Sahn village, the outskirts of Jabal Al-Olaya and Jabal Mohambel in the western Idlib countryside in the “de-escalation zone.”
