Turkey retaliates after deadly attack on troops in Syria's Idlib
A Turkish soldier is pictured at a position near the village of Nairab, about 14 kilometres southeast of the city of Idlib, in northwestern Syria, on February 20, 2020. In response, the Turkish military killed at least 50 regime fighters, destroys five tanks, two APCs and a howitzer in Idlib, the defence ministry said.Idlib falls within a de-confliction zone laid out in a deal between Turkey and Russia in late 2018.
The Syrian regime and its allies, however, have consistently broken the terms of the ceasefire, launching frequent attacks inside the territory where acts of aggression are prohibited. The Syrian regime offensive has disrupted Ankara and Moscow's fragile cooperation, after more than a dozen Turkish soldiers were killed by Syrian attacks in the past two weeks.
