Mon 27 July 2020:

At least one civilian was killed in a mortar attack by Assad regime forces in the de-escalation zone in Idlib, northwestern Syria, a civil defense group said Sunday, Anadolu Agency reports.

Two others were also injured in the attacks targeting Ein Laruz village, the White Helmets said.

Idlib falls within a de-escalation zone forged under an agreement between Turkey and Russia.

The area, lying along Turkey’s southern border, has been the subject of multiple cease-fire understandings, which have frequently been violated by the Assad regime and its allies.

The influx of displaced civilians has increased its population to about four million in recent years.

Three Syrian regime fighters killed, others injured in car explosion in Syria’s Daraa

Three Syrian regime forces were killed and several others were injured when a car exploded Syria’s Daraa city, a war monitor reported on Sunday.

This comes after a group of unidentified gunmen stormed the house of a former leader of one of the regime’s factions and opened fire, killing five people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

More than 589 attacks have been carried out since last June, in which over 393 people, including 104 civilians, were killed, the monitor said.
