Syrian troops seize control key town in rebel-held Idlib province

Syrian government forces have captured one of the most critical towns which were previously under control of radical groups in the nation's northwest, the Syrian military and resistance activists announced on Wednesday, some portion of a Russian-led military attack that has dislodged a vast number of people fleeing to more secure regions.

The town of Maaret Al Numan in Idlib area, which had been in rebel control since 2012, is situated on the highway connecting Damascus with Aleppo and is viewed as crucial to President Bashar Al Assad's regime. The town is currently vacant because of the recent intense bombing.

Its recovery is the most recent in the progression of military triumphs for Al Assad. His forces have regained retaken control of the vast majority of the nation from rebels, to a great extent, due to the Russian air support, which helped them succeed.

Syria's about nine-year battle left more than 400,000 people dead and uprooted half of Syria's population, including more than 5 million who have fled to neighboring nations.

An exemption has been Idlib territory, in the northwestern corner of the nation close to the Turkish outskirt, which is held by resistance rebels and is ruled by Al Qaeda-connected militants. The area is home to nearly 3 million individuals, a significant number of them have been uprooted, The National reported.

Syrian government powers have been in an aggressive attacking mode for over a month in the Idlib region, the last rebel stronghold in the nation. However, as of late, the government seized more than twelve towns in the territory.

"Our military proceeded with the mission in southern pieces of Idlib with the point of stopping crimes done by radical groups," stated army spokesperson Brig Gen Ali Mayhoub," The National reported.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a restriction war screen, said rebels pulled back from the town late on Tuesday. Syrian soldiers had left a road west of the city opened clearly to allow agitators to pull out and to avoid fighting inside the city.

Amid airstrikes and bombing, trucks stacked with dislodged people from regions encompassing Maaret Al Numan, including Jabal Al Zawiya, made a beeline for territories close to the Turkish borders, previously overflowing with internally uprooted people.

According to The National, the Syrian Response Coordination Group, a relief organization, is working in northwestern Syria, detailed that until the end of December, over 216,000 individuals fled their homes in Idlib. In a recent release, the organization stated that 167,000 fled since the start of January, an increase in the number to 383,000.
