On June 25, a new series of Russian airstrikes hit positions of al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies in the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib.
The airstrikes targeted positions near the town of Kabani in the northern Lattakia countryside, the city of Jisr al-Shughur in the western Idlib countryside, al-Arbaeen Mount and the village of Beinin in the southern Idlib countryside as well as the western outskirts of Idlib city.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group, said that several militants from HTS and the Turkistan Islamic Party were killed or wounded in the airstrikes.

The Russian Aerospace Forces resumed airstrikes on Greater Idlib late on June 23 in response to three drone attacks that targeted the government-held towns of Salhab and Deir Shamil in the western Hama countryside, and al-Qardahah in the northern Lattakia countryside. HTS was unofficially blamed for the drone attacks, which killed four civilians, including a woman and two children and wounded at least four others.
The terrorist group and its allies escalated further on June 24 by firing two rockets at al-Qaedahah and the nearby town of Slanfah in the northern Lattakia countryside. However, there were no casualties.
The first waves of Russian retaliatory airstrikes hit several positions of HTS and its allies which were used to launch the deadly drone attacks.
The recent attacks by HTS and its allies were a violation of the ceasefire in Greater Idlib, which was brokered by Russia and Turkey more than three years ago. To this day, the Turkish military maintains a large presence in the region, supposedly to monitor the ceasefire.
Any further escalation in the region could lead to a serious military confrontation. This may be the main aim of the terrorist groups there, who fear that a normalization deal between Ankara and Damascus may be nearing.

lashing out in syria out frustration over ukraine will not help russia. its forces are in danger of overstretch. there are signs of instability within russia itself. the ukraine war has backfired. belarus might soon be next. the csto is likely to collapse within the next few years. tanked economy. isolated. weakened military. far less defence exports. hated by the west and most sunni muslims. where is putin taking russia?
no matter what will happen, hts are doomed.
ruské vojská by mali zintenzívniť svoju činnosť a mali by začať systematicky ničiť teroristov. čím skôr ich zničia tým skôr môžu potom vyhnať teroristov z usa zo sýrie!!!
great, now blast those illegal us bases off the map.
when will they bomb the hooked-nose savages that attack syria regularly??
fighting against armed groups that have almost no weapons are the biggest , the great russian army , the worst is when it is against people who have weapons and are well prepared , then the story is different , massacring civilians as they do is too easy
