Clashes took place between the Syrian government forces and mercenary groups of the Turkish occupation last night, on the Ruwayha axis in the southern Idlib countryside, without information on the size of the losses, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The observatory also confirmed that the Syrian government forces shelled with missiles areas in Sufun and Falifel, south of Idlib and Eves, east of Idlib last night.

In a related context, the observatory confirmed that the Turkish occupation brought more military convoys to the de-escalation zone.

The observatory indicated that a new military convoy entered the Syrian territories from the "Kafrlocin" crossing, which included dozens of vehicles carrying logistical and military equipment, and headed towards the sites of the Turkish occupation army deployed in the region.

Amid continued flow of Turkish convoys, the number of vehicles that entered Syrian territory since the beginning of last March reached 3,280, as well as thousands of Turkish soldiers.
