The operation is coming: the Syrians have concentrated powerful forces in Idlib, the Russian Air Force strikes
A senior source from the Syrian armed forces confirmed data on the concentration of government troops on the border of the provinces of Hama and Idlib, where a military operation could soon begin. This was reported on June 15 by Al-Masdar News.
The additional time period that Russia had previously submitted to Turkey for the withdrawal of militants south and north of the M-4 Aleppo-Latakia road has come to an end. In this regard, Assad’s troops are pulling additional forces and reinforcements to the region to start a combat action. The source noted that Ankara does not take seriously the agreements reached earlier with Moscow, and the ceasefire is violated almost daily.
At the next stage, strategically important areas should be under the control of the Syrian army, including Jebel al-Zawiya in Idlib, as well as part of the Al-Gab plain in Hama
