The province of Idlib has been at the center of a Syrian forces' push under the cover of airstrikes recently, with more than a dozen villages captured.
Syrian government forces pushed deeper in their offensive on the last remaining rebel stronghold in the country’s northwest on Sunday, getting very close to a Turkish observation post in the area, opposition activists said.
The offensive has already forced tens of thousands of civilians to abandon their homes and flee, including thousands who crossed into neighboring Turkey seeking safety. The attacks resumed after a cease-fire in force since the end of August collapsed recently. Turkey has backed Syrian rebels in the neighboring country’s civil war, now in its ninth year.
Four months ago, Syrian troops captured all territory around another Turkish post in the village of Morek, also in Idlib province, leaving the Turkish monitors only a nearby road to use. No friction has since been reported between Syrian and Turkish troops in Morek.
Also Sunday in Idlib province, a drone attack killed a senior commander with Al Qaeda-linked Horas al-Din group, which is Arabic for “Guardians of Religion,” according to the Observatory and other activist groups, as well as jihadi outlets.
