Hello and welcome to the 833rd installment of the SWD .

Military events/news are listed below by the governorates:

Aleppo:

Government forces targeted the town of Zammar with artillery shelling. Late night reports reported that Turkish warplanes were flying over western Aleppo and southern Idlib.

One attack by unidentified gunmen took place in Ziyadiyah, close to Al-Bab, in the areas under Turkish Control in Northern Syria – the former area of operations of the Turkish-backed Olive Branch and Euphrates Shield operations. As a result two members of the military police were killed and one wounded.

Local sources, as well as video evidence, reported that a Turkish convoy hit and overrun a local man crossing the road near Jarablus on Wednesday.

Hama-Idlib frontline:

Exchange of multiple rockets, ATGMs, artillery shelling and mortar fire took place today between the SAA and the Free Syrian Army across the whole frontline. Main targeted areas include the Turkish Observation point in Shar Maghar while Turkish vehicles were bringing-in reinforcements, as a consequence one Turkish soldier was killed, and three wounded. Local sources stated that Ankara’s military helicopters flew to the area to evacuate the casualties.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense identified the killed solider as Mehmet Dursun.

A direct consequence of this escalation is that Turkish authorities reported that Ankara’s forces responded severely. At late night, Turkish shelling began to target government-held areas – mainly where the artillery attack came from. Other targeted areas include Al Ghab plain and Qabr Fidda.

Additional targeted areas by Government forces throughout the day include Sheikh Damas, Arinbeh, Rakaya Sjana, Kafr Sajnah, Hazarin, Maarat Hurmah, and the city of Idlib. Civilian casualties were reported as a result of such bombings.
