Over 25 Syrian regime soldiers and officers were killed or wounded in a “special operation” carried out by an opposition military faction in the Jabal Al-Turkman area of the Latakia countryside.

The attack was in retaliation for the targeting of civilians on Tuesday evening, following artillery shelling of residential areas in the city of Jisr Al-Shughur in the western Idlib countryside, northwestern Syria.

In a statement, the National Liberation Front announced that its fighters from the Coastal Division carried out a nighttime raid on the positions and barracks of President Bashar Al-Assad’s forces on the Jabal Al-Turkman axis in the northern Latakia countryside. The raid was a response to the targeting of civilians and residential areas with shells, rockets and suicide drones.

According to sources from the Syrian opposition’s monitoring and surveillance units, four officers, including a captain, a major and two lieutenants, were among the dead. The operation occurred on the Dara axis in the Jabal Al-Turkman.

On Tuesday evening, the Syrian Civil Defence (White Helmets) reported that four civilians, including a child and a woman, were injured following artillery shelling by Syrian regime forces on residential areas in Jisr Al-Shughur.
