ALEPPO, Syria — Syrian regime artillery shelled the Jarjinaz village in Idlib’s eastern countryside Nov. 2, killing eight civilians. The regime forces targeted Jarjinaz with more than 50 shells during the Friday prayers.
Turkey and Russia had concluded an agreement on Sept. 17 to establish a buffer zone between the armed opposition regions and the regime-controlled areas in Idlib. According to this agreement that entered into force Oct. 15, this zone would run 15 to 20 kilometers deep and would be free of heavy weapons, including artilleries, tanks and rocket launchers.
