On the morning of February 24th, Harat Terralsham and other Idlib groups supported by the Turkish Army launched a new attempt to capture the village of Nairab from the Syrian Army. Turkish-backed rebels, bedecked with ISIS and Signeas, once again reached the vicinity of the village but were forced to retreat under strikes from the Syrian Army and the Russian Aerospace Forces. Pro-Turkish sources complained that regime troops are using mines, roadblocks, fortifications, and even trenches to protect their positions. The devilry of the Assad regime has no balance. In the evening, Turkish-led forces carried out a second attack on Nairab entering its eastern part and engaging army troops in a series of clashes. The fighting in the area continued overnight and by February 25th, Idlib groups had established control of at least half of the town. So Turkish sources claimed that the entire city of Nairab is now in the hands of Turkish-led forces. Pro-government sources say that the clashes are ongoing. The attack on Nairab took a place amid the ongoing Syrian army advance in southern Idlib, south of the M4 highway. Government forces have cleared over a dozen settlements from Turkish-led forces since the resumption of the offensive in the area on February 23rd. In the course of this effort, Syrian soldiers captured three vehicles and eliminated up to ten militants. The advance is ongoing. On the same day, reports appeared that 13 Turkish soldiers were killed in airstrikes in the area of the Syrian army operation in southern Idlib. According to pro-Turkish sources and Russian media, the incident happened somewhere near the villages of Kafeernable, Barra, and Kansafra. According to Turkish authorities, 21 Turkish service members have died in the greater Idlib operation so far. If the February 24th incident is confirmed, the number of casualties of Turkish forces in their Idlib adventurism will surprise 30. The developments on the ground demonstrate that even with direct Turkish involvement, Idlib groups do not have enough resources to oppose these Syrian army advance across the region. So while they were concentrating their efforts on Nairab, their defense collapsed along another chunk of the front line. Meanwhile, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan confirmed his intention to meet with the leaders of Russia, France, and Germany on March 5th in Istanbul to discuss the situation in Idlib. This strange format, excluding Iran, another backer of the Damascus government and a key player in the conflict, is likely seen by the Turkish leadership as a useful tool to make a collective effort to pressure Russia over its strong support to the Syrian army actions against terrorists. It also reveals that despite the recent decline of the EU involvement in the conflict, the EU states remain at least diplomatic supporters of terrorist factions operating within the country. At the same time, the initiative of the meeting itself demonstrates that Turkey is not so determined to turn its military threats against Syria into reality as it wants to demonstrate.
