According to opposition reports, the Turkish military sent another large convoy to Idlib in convoy at the same time that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continues to buildup its forces in the Jabal Al-Zawiya region of Idlib.
Since the Sochi Agreement was put in place on September 17, 2018, the Turkish military has been constructing observation posts in several front-line areas in northwestern Syria.
However, as seen in the Syrian Arab Army’s offensive in southern Idlib offensive earlier this year, they are willing to go around these Turkish observation posts in order to attack the militant forces.
With the Turkish military’s attack on the Syrian Army’s positions in March, it appears that the former is becoming less tolerant of these offensives and could intervene in future conflicts, especially along the Jabal Al-Zawiya region.
Meanwhile, a large SAA convoy entered the northern countryside of the Al-Raqqa Governorate this week to help strengthen the front-lines in the ‘Ayn ‘Issa District.
According to a field source, the Syrian Arab Army troops were accompanied by Russian military personnel, who also deployed to the ‘Ayn ‘Issa District, which is located north of the administrative capital.
The Syrian Army reinforcements were said to have later deployed to the front-lines in ‘Ayn ‘Issa, where they helped strengthen the front-lines in the face of the Turkish-backed militant forces.
the ‘Ayn ‘Issa front has recently witnessed an increase in hostilities between the Syrian Army and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on one side, and the Turkish-backed militants on the other.
The Turkish-backed militants have repeatedly violated the ceasefire in northern Raqqa, as they often launch artillery shells and rockets towards the defenses of both the Syrian Army and SDF troops.
