A joint Russian-Syrian air force unit conducted airstrikes on Wednesday, for the second consecutive day, targeting positions held by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants in the Idlib and Latakia countrysides in Syria, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
The strikes focused on military training sites, storage facilities, and an underground tunnel near the town of Binin in Jabal al-Zawiya.
Two days earlier, similar joint airstrikes were carried out in the same regions. The strikes targeted camps belonging to the terrorist Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham group in the al-Bassel forests, west of Idlib city, as well as the hills surrounding the towns of Sheikh Bahr and Kfar Jales, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
Additionally, the airstrikes targeted an underground vehicle depot near the cannery factory in Idlib city.
Our correspondent further mentioned that the Syrian-Russian strikes also hit areas controlled by the Turkistan Islamic Party in the hills of Kabani, in Latakia's countryside.
The Syrian Arab Army had previously targeted the headquarters of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham leaders as they arrived at a location near the town of Nayrab, east of Idlib in northern Syria.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Syria said, at the time, the Syrian Arab Army targeted the headquarters near one of the Turkish observation points using two one-way aircraft.
