Ongoing military escalation | jiha-dists wage sui-cide operation, leaving number of people dead and injured

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the jihadist “Ansar Al-Tawhid” faction, have waged a suicide operation, targeting the positions of the regime forces, on the Maarat Mozhas frontlines south of Idlib.

Violent clashes occurred between the jihadists and regime forces amid confirmed information of deaths and injuries, amid intensive shelling.

Following the operation, regime forces have begun an intensive and violent bombardment, targeting towns and villages in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in the southern Idlib countryside.

Ansar Al-Tawhid faction have also fired rockets at the positions of the regime forces.

This comes as jihadist groups continue their escalated attacks that targeted regime forces and their proxy militias in “Putin-Erdogan” area.

 

Yesterday, SOHR activists reported that Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and the factions operating under its banner in Putin-Erdogan area continue to escalate their attacks, targeting regime forces and their proxy militias.

 

Since January 2023, HTS has intensified its attacks, targeting the positions of the regime forces on several frontlines in northern Latakia, western Aleppo, and Idlib.

HTS has escalated anti-regime attacks since the talk of rapprochement between the Turkish and Syrian regimes, as HTS aims to attract and win public opinion in northern Syria that rejects Turkish rapprochement with the regime.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) documented the death of 17 personnel of regime forces, including an officer, and the injuring of six others, and the killing of five members of Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham and a French jihadist, and the injuring of four others during eight operations, attacks, suicide operations, sniper attacks, clashes.
