MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th January, 2020) Humanitarian corridor Al-Hader by which civilians leave Syria's last rebel-held stronghold of Idlib is being bombarded by militant groups, state television channel Ikhbariya reported Tuesday.
According to the channel, the Al-Hader humanitarian corridor, which was prepared by the Syrian army to withdraw civilians from the militant-controlled areas of the Idlib de-escalation zone, was targeted by militant bullets at the time of civilian crossings.
No injuries are currently reported.
Al-Hader is one of the three new corridors set up to allow civilians to leave Idlib after Russia and Turkey agreed to a ceasefire in the region.
Idlib is the last stronghold of militants in the country, as parts of the province is controlled by Tahrir al-Sham, formerly known as the Nusra Front terrorist organization (banned in Russia). According to Syrian President Bashar Assad, liberating Idlib is essential to putting an end to the nation's civil war.
