Fierce battles raged on Saturday between Syrian government forces, backed by Russian airstrikes, and opposition factions in northwestern Syria where the two sides are fighting to control positions on the Hama-Idlib axis.
“On the eve of the Adha Eid, Syrian and Russia forces launched more than 1,100 airstrikes and ground assaults on coastal mountains and the countryside of Hama and Idlib, in line with fierce clashes on several axes in the southern part of the Idlib countryside,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
