Militants operating in Syria’s Idlib de-escalation zone shelled four settlements in Hama and Aleppo provinces over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry’s Center for Reconciliation in Syria said on Saturday.
“Over the past day, terrorists from the Idilb de-escalation zone have attacked Tall-Salhab and Kibriya in Hama province as well as Hara [settlement] in Aleppo province and western districts in Aleppo city”, the daily bulletin read.
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with the government forces fighting against numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations. Since the Syrian government has regained control over most of the country’s territories that were seized by terrorists, it is now focused on creating favorable conditions for repatriating refugees.
According to the center, as for February 15, 31,231 houses, 814 educational facilities and 137 medical centers were restored in Syria and a total of 222,106 Syrian refugees returned home.
