As we mentioned in the recent article; with the defeat of the militants in Eastern Ghouta and southern Damascus, and also with the “soon to be achieved” defeat of ISIS in Yarmouk camp in southern Damascus– one of the probable goals of the Syrian government would be reinstating (law and) order in northwest of Syria, notably the northern Lattakia, al-Ghab plain and its northern part, namely, Jisr al-Shughur.

So in accordance with these, the Turkish army extending its observation posts around al-Ghab plain, southwest of Idlib and northern Lattakia in order to get the upper hand in these regions and to prevent the advances of Syrian army in future.

So, after the construction of a new observation post in “Maydan Ghazal” in north of Qal`at al Mudiq, the Turkish army with sending another big military convoy including 50 armored vehicles, tanks, troop carriers and logistical equipment to south of Jisr al-Shughur, established its new observation post on “Ishtabraq Mountain”.

Ishtabraq Mountain has a good firecontrol over the city of Jisr al-Shughur and al-Ghab plain.
