Sunday, 26 Jan 2020 07:59 PM MYTBEIRUT, Jan 26 — Syrian government forces have taken control of several towns in northwestern Idlib province, a war monitor and Syrian state media reported, amid a renewed push by President Bashar al-Assad to recapture the last rebel stronghold.
The Syrian Observatory, a war monitor, said today that six towns in the Idlib countryside had fallen to Syrian government forces in the past 24 hours. The push deeper into rebel-held territory has taken place despite a deal between Turkey and Russia, which back opposing sides in the conflict, for a Jan. 12 ceasefire.
Turkey, which has a presence in the area and is seen by many civilians as a protector against Russian strikes, already hosts more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees and fears that millions more could cross the border.
