"We are now on al-Zawiya mountain in the village of Kukfin, overlooking Sahl el Ghab, where the units have made great advances reaching the village of al-Mansoura. We will continue until we liberate the whole of the al-Zawiya mountain and until we reach Jabal al-Arba'in overlooking Arihah and the city of Jisr al-Shughur," a Syrian Arab Army officer said.
The advances came after the SAA launched a counter-offensive in the countryside of Idlib and Hama governorates against Turkish-backed militants who claim to have regained control over the strategic town of Saraqib.
On Thursday, 33 Turkish soldiers were killed in an airstrike in Idlib countryside, according to Turkish officials, further escalating tensions in the area.
