Syrian and Russian warplanes carried out on December 20 more than 80 airstrikes on terrorists’ positions in the so-called Greater Idlib region.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), most of the airstrikes targeted the southeastern Idlib countryside, where the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is conducting a large-scale military operation against Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies.
Pro-government sources claimed that the airstrikes destroyed positions, ammo depots, vehicles and weapons of the terrorist groups.
Earlier today, the SAA advanced in southeast Idlib, capturing the towns of al-Shaera, Rabia, al-Khuraiba, Barnan, Farjah, Sihal, Braysah and Abu Habbah.
The air cover provided by the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) and the Russian Aerospace Forces played a key role in the recent SAA advance. The army is expected to advance further in the upcoming hours.
