Syrische Truppen kommen in Idlib Provinz nicht weiter

July 12, 2019 - In der mehr als zwei Monate dauernden Offensive um die Idlib Provinz, ist es den regierungsfreundlichen, von Russland unterstützten, Truppen nicht gelungen, die wütende Verteidigung der Rebellen zu durchbrechen.

While resisting government attacks, the insurgents have managed to carve out small advances of their own, drawing on ample stocks of guided anti-tank missiles that opposition and diplomatic sources say have been supplied by Turkey, Reuters reported.

The Idlib area is dominated by Tahrir al-Sham, the jihadists formerly known as the Nusra Front. Proscribed as a terrorist group by the UN Security Council, the group has set aside past conflict with Turkish-backed rebels to defend northwest Syria.
