Tens of Civilians Leave Idlib for Syrian Army Positions via Humanitarian Corridor

A sum of 300 civilians left terrorist-held regions in Idlib province for the regions controlled by the Syrian Army after reopening of Abu al-Dhohour passageway South-East of the province, a state-run Russian news agency reported on Wednesday.

The Arabic-language website of Sputnik reported that the Syrian official in cooperation with the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria have reopened Abu al-Dhohour humanitarian corridor for those civilians that intended to leave terrorist-held regions in Idlib.

It further said that a sum of 300 civilians, mostly women and children, have been evacuated to the army-controlled regions via Abu al-Dhohour.

The report went on to say that the terrorists were preventing civilians from leaving Idlib.

It said that the Syrian and Russian forces will possibly open new corridors in Qala al-Madhiq and Morek in Northern Hama.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Sunday that Turkey failed to convince terrorist groups to withdraw from the demilitarized zone mentioned in the Sochi Agreements that covers parts of Lattakia, Idlib, Hama and Aleppo provinces a week after the agreement’s deadline of October 15.

In the meantime, al-Watan pointed to the failure of Turkey in expelling terrorists from the demilitarized zone, and said that the Syrian Army’s artillery units pounded the movements of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at terrorists that tried to prevail over the army’s positions in al-Latamina region in Northeastern Hama and in the village of al-Zarzour in Southeastern Idlib.

A number of Tahrir al-Sham terrorists were killed or wounded in the army’s artillery attack.

Analysts believe that Syrian Army is likely to conduct military operation in Northern and Northwestern parts of the country as terrorist groups have showed no intention to leave the demilitarized zone.
