The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the regime's warplanes targeted Taftanaz military airport in Idlib countryside, hours after the Turkish occupation forces installed a point inside it.

Today, the Syrian Observatory monitored the entry of a new military convoy of the Turkish occupation into the Syrian territories during the past few hours.

The convoy consists of about 50 vehicles ranking between armored vehicles, tanks, and heavy vehicles, in addition to logistical equipment, and the occupation forces have established a new point for them in Taftanaz Military Airport east of Idlib.

This coincides with the intensifying battles at the gates of Saraqib, where the regime forces managed to storm the town yesterday evening; however, the mercenary groups re-entered the town with direct support from the so-called observation point.

The Syrian Observatory monitored, this morning, the continued intense air strikes on Idlib and Aleppo, where regime and Russian warplanes launched dozens of raids since after midnight, targeting places in Saraqib, Binnish, Sarmin, Taftanaz in Idlib countryside, and other places in western and southern Aleppo countryside.

In a related development, the regime forces took control of the village of Avs, north of Saraqib, and thus surrounded the city from all directions, after its withdrawal in Saraqib yesterday, and according to the observatory sources, dozens of mercenaries are trapped in Saraqib.

The leadership of the regime forces said today that the Israeli strikes were a cover for the entry of a Turkish convoy into Syrian territory.
