The Syrian regime's advance in rebel-held territories in Syria has been dealt a blow with the capture of the strategic town of Kafr Naboudah
On May 22, almost two months after the regime’s Idlib offensive kicked off, the Turkish-backed National Liberation Front announced the recapture of territory from the Syrian regime, including the strategic town of Kafr Naboudah.
"The first time my town was completely destroyed was in 2012,” Alshekh said, referring to the Syrian regime’s offensive in Hama, a year after the Syrian war began. On May 8, the Syrian regime was able to recapture the town completely thanks to the bombing campaign. “They always create accusations to justify their crimes, we are accustomed to their lies. They committed heinous crimes in Aleppo, they also used chemical weapons in different places, especially in Ghouta and Khan Shaikhoun in Idlib.”When the most recent assault by Assad forces began in April, Alshekh fled to the surrounding areas of Hama, like thousands of others left homeless by the assault.
The assault on Idlib and parts of Hama came despite the areas being part of de-escalation zones agreed upon by Turkey and Russia in 2017.
