Syrian Army Enters Rebel-Held Northwestern Saraqeb Town
Ammar Safarjalani / Global Look Press
Russian-led Syrian government forces on Thursday entered Saraqeb town in northwestern Idlib province in the latest push to capture the last rebel stronghold, state media said, Reuters reports.
President Bashar al-Assad’s swift military advance through Idlib province has caused an exodus of civilians towards Turkey’s border in the past two weeks, risking a military confrontation with Turkey, whose leader has threatened to drive back the Syrian forces.
The town lies at the junction of two main roads that Assad seeks to fully control to regain Idlib province, the last rebel bastion in the nearly nine-year-long civil war.
