On August 28, warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out at least eight airstrikes on militants’ positions in the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib.
The Russian airstrikes targeted the outskirts of the towns of al-Bara, Almaouzrah and Ain La Rose. All three towns are a part of the al-Zawiya Mount in the southern countryside of Idlib. The mountainous area is infested with positions of al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the de-facto ruler of Greater Idlib, and Turkish-backed militants.
During the airstrikes, Russian, Syrian and Iranian drones and reconnaissance planes were spotted flying over Greater Idlib.

Russian warplanes have been attacking militants’ positions in Greater Idlib for nine days now. A day earlier, two ground-to-air missiles were launched at the warplanes, reportedly by Turkish forces.
While more Russian airstrikes will likely hit Greater Idlib in the upcoming few days, the chances of the Syrian Arab Army launching a ground operation in the region remain slim.
Any ground operation in Greater Idlib will certainly lead to a military confrontation with Turkish forces, which maintain a large presence in the region. The recent Russian airstrikes on the region were likely carried out to reinforce the 2020 ceasefire agreement and punish HTS and its allies for their repeated attacks.
I am all for a killing these mentally ill Fighters or whatever they’re called. But constant bombing doesn’t always provide results.
Sounds more like Ukropnazi jets falling left and right in Donbas. Oy vey…
Bombing will never end till there are wahabimossad trolls on the ground. You asked for it you have it. Have fun…
Condolences to the fallen wahabimossad and CIAisis operators. May they rest in pieces…
You have been geopolitically betrayed by the West over empty promises, as NordStream 2 is almost done much to the delight of the Germans. Yet you Ukrainians still persist in this pathetic adoration of the West that doesn’t give shit about you, you are expendable. This Ukrainian Russophobia is beyond stupid and absolutely self-destructive.
Ukraine has not anything to speak of, as they are a nation, if you can call it that. Torn apart by the USA. Very dodgy bunch Biden, son, Victoria Newland and their Ilk. Who else would turn their cheek to this Nazi infested place they once called a country. The ones who always pay the price the the civilians in this mess.
