Yet another ambush by pro-ISIS jihadists causes 17 deaths among the Damascus troops. Since March 2019, 1,607 soldiers have died in the face of 1.096 terrorists.
Moscow strikes and army combings are not enough against the former ISIS. The jihadists counterattack and kill at least 20 enemies in a month in the desert.
New exercise by Moscow troops to prevent pro-Turkey militias-TAF on the one hand and the SDF-SAA on the other from coming into contact. Meanwhile, it comes.
Moscow organizes surprise military exercises along the front line that divides Turkey and the allied militias on the one hand, the SAA and the SDF on the other.
Damascus deploys armored vehicles, tanks and special forces in Tel Rifaat. Ankara and allied militias amass forces on the other side of the front line.
Turkey and allied militias send reinforcements to Tel Abyad. The SAA and SDF do likewise east of Ain Issa. Ankara must drive the enemy away from Idlib, but the price could be very high.
In this way Turkey would control the front line and the SAA could no longer attack without violating the truce. The option, however, is unlikely to have Russia's okay.
Repeated clashes between 2 factions of al-Mu’tasim Division. Meanwhile in Aleppo, pro-Ankara groups try to break through the SAA's defenses and arrive on the M5.
