On February 23, radical militants launched dozens of rockets and mortars at residential areas in the towns of Safsafiyah and Mahardah along with a nearby power station in the northern Hama countryside.
Local sources said that a crew from the American CBS TV and several British journalists were visiting Mahardah when the rocket attack occurred. However, nobody was injured.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) responded to these new violations of the Russian-Turkish devitalized zone agreement by targeting and destroying two military vehicles belonging to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) near the town of Maarkaba.
A day earlier, the northern Hama countryside witnessed similar violations. The army responded by shelling several HTS positions deep inside the Idlib zone and assassinating a field commander of Jaysh al-Izza.
Radical groups, such as HTS and Jaysh al-Izza, are not allowed to have any presence within the demilitarized zone around Idlib. However, Turkey is yet to reinforce this condition. This is threatening the integrity of the entire agreement.
Ignore anything that Turkey states; take Idlib and that whole region back SAA, by using overwhelming airpower and missile use….take about 7 days and bombard them to hell, then send the specials and Tiger forces in…… cut that area their rule down by 50% in 10 days …… that pressure will then turn the Turks and HTS to eliminate each other.
Terrorists are becoming stronger and more lethal as time goes by, thanks to Turkey-Russia agreement. The only things that SAA can do right now is just to answer any attack. Russia must stop pleasing Turkey and must starts offensive against terrorists on Idlib.
It’s been long enough, time for the Syrian and Russian airforce to start raining down airstrikes like in Ghouta, Daraa, and Aleppo Offensives. Time for Idlib to be liberated from Nusra and FSA jihadis. Thousands of Syrian Army warriors are waiting on the front-line to go into battle for the homeland.

How convenient, the US/UK media are associates and supporters of ISIS, al Qaeda, or whatever the US is calling itself today.
