Syrian Opposition Regains Territory from Government Forces with Counteroffensive
According to the Anadolu Agency, the Syrian opposition went on the counter-offensive in order to regain control over villages that were lost two weeks ago. The press service cited Turkmen oppositional sources that indicated that the Syrian opposition has regained control over some settlements near Turkmandagy in northern Syria.
In particular, the Syrian opposition moved towards the villages of Kurudzh, Sarraf, Kuldzhuk and Karaman in the province of Lazkiye. According to the press service, 14 servicemen of Bashar Al-Assad’s Army were killed. Heavy weapons and military equipment were taken, and battles are still ongoing in the region.
It was also noted that the Syrian opposition reported the capture of Karagly, Kurudzh, Bashura Hill and the area surrounding Karamanli. As previously reported, the Syrian Army continues to push the offensive closer to the Syria-Turkey border; they are currently only 25 kilometers away from the Turkish border.
Bashar Al-Assad’s Forces, with the support of Russia, intend to take control over that part of the border.
