RNA - The Syrian warplanes targeted Fatah al-Sham's strongholds near the town of Binish in the Eastern territories of Idlib, destroying the groups' military vehicles.

Also on Monday, the terrorist groups continued mortar and rocker attacks on residential areas in the towns of Foua'a and Kafraya in Idlib province.

The Jeish al-Fatah and Ahrar al-Sham terrorists hit people's houses in Foua'a and Kafraya with at least 30 mortar shells and rockets.

The attacks were launched from the nearby towns of Binish, Mashtal Ta'oum and Ma'ar Tamsarin.

Local people said, at least, a dozen civilians were killed or wounded in the terrorists' attacks.

The terrorists' attacks on the residential areas in Foua'a and Kafraya came after they suffered heavy losses in the attacks by the Syrian army and air force in fresh rounds of anti-terrorism offensives in Southern Idlib, claiming the lives of a number of terrorists.

The Syrian army troops, in a coordinated operation with Syrian warplanes, struck Jeish al-Fatah's strongholds in the villages of Sarjeh, al-Moqbeleh and al-Najiyeh and the regions of Ariha and Jisr al-Shughour, ending in destruction of terrorists' bases and armored vehicles in large scale.
