Car Bomb Blast Kills 4, Injures 11 in Idlib - Syrian Opposition Source
An explosion of a car bomb in the Syrian city of Idlib has claimed the lives of four people, 11 people have been injured, a source in the Syrian opposition told Sputnik on Sunday.
"Four people have been killed, 11 have been wounded as a result of the explosion of a car bomb… in [the city of] Idlib," the source said.
Idlib and adjacent areas — the last major stronghold of militants in Syria — are home to an estimated 3 million civilians, more than half of whom have reportedly been displaced at least once during the ongoing six-year war.
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with the government forces fighting against numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations. Russia along with Turkey and Iran are guarantors of the ceasefire regime in Syria.
Huge Blast Reported at Tahrir Al-Sham's Base in Central Idlib
The bomb-laden vehicle broke out in al-Qosour neighborhood in Central Idlib that is under Tahrir al-Sham's control and destroyed several buildings.
Al-Qosour is home to houses and base of Turkistani and other Asian terrorists, a militant-affiliated source disclosed, adding that Tahrir al-Sham and Uzbek and Turkistani terrorists laid siege on the neighborhood and kept gunmen on alert.
At least 6 people were killed and 25 others, including civilians and non-Syrian members of Tahrir al-sham were killed in the blast.
Last week, two notorious commanders of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at and National Liberation Front (NLF) were killed in a bomb and gun fire attacks by unidentified raiders in Southern Idlib.
Abdulhamid al-Azo, a field commander of NLF, was killed in a bomb blast along a road connecting Dayer Sharqi to Ein Qari'a in Southern Idlib.
In the meantime, Abu Osama al-Terablosi, a notorious commander of Tahrir al-Sham, was gunned down by unknown raiders near the town of Ma'arat al-Nu'aman in Southern Idlib.
Meanwhile, a number of NLF fighters were killed or injured after a bomb went off near their base in the town of al-Artab in Western Aleppo.
SHIPMENT OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS ARRIVES JISR AL-SHUGHUR IN SYRIA’S IDLIB PROVINCE – REPORT
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the former branch of al-Qaeda in Syria, moved several chemical weapons containers from the town of Maarrat Misrin in northern Idlib to the city of Jisr al-Shughur in the northwestern part of the governorate, a local source revealed to the Russian news agency Sputnik.
According to the source, the containers, which contained Chlorine and Sarin, were transferred to Jisr al-Shughur in a refrigerated truck. The shipment was reportedly escorted by members of the White Helmets and militants of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP).
Earlier this month, the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria revealed that a cell of ISIS stole two chlorine cylinders from a position of HTS in the northern Hama countryside. Two days later, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) warned that militants are plotting chemical weapons provocations in Idlib.
Russia has repeatedly accused Western countries of supplying HTS with dangerous materials in order to provoke a staged chemical attack that would justify a military action by the U.S. and its allies against Damascus government forces. This plan was apparently put on hold after the Russian-Turkish deconfliction agreement on Idlib. However, the chemical weapons remained in the hands of radical militants.
MILITANT GROUPS WITHDRAW WEAPONS FROM DEMILITARIZED ZONE NEAR ALEPPO CHALLENGING ANKARA CLAIMS THAT IT WAS DONE EARLIER
The Turkish-backed Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, the al-Sham Legion and the Thuwar al-Sham Brigades have begun withdrawing their heavy weapons from their positions in the outskirt of the northern city of Aleppo, the al-Mayadeen TV reported on October 21.
According to the Lebanese channel, the armed groups moved their heavy weapons from the al-Zahra district north of Aleppo to their positions around the towns of Kafr Sulin, Sheikh Suleiman and Atarib. The three towns are located outside of the demilitarized zone, which was established under the Russian-Turkish deconfliction agreement on the governorate of Idlib.
In the last few weeks, the militants around Aleppo, including Turkish-backed elements, violated the deconfliction agreement several times by shelling civilian areas within the city. On October 18, two civilians were killed as a result of a brutal rocket attack. Since then, the violations stopped.
Al-Mayadeen’s report confirms that the Turkish military lied when it claimed on October 10 that all heavy weapons had been withdrawn from the demilitarized zone. Despite of that, it appears that Turkey is now seriously working to force the militants to respect the agreement.
