Turkish military in NW Syria | After persuading HTS to abandon it, Turkish troops station on strategic hill

Reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that Turkey set up new military post in Idlib province in the past few hours. Turkish forces have stationed on Al-Nabi Ayoub hill in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in the southern countryside of Idlib.

 

According to SOHR sources, Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham had always rejected the Turkish demands to establish observation post on the strategic hill, which has unique location and overlooks large swathes, before the jihadi faction abandoned it for the Turks.
