As Damascus continues its mission to reclaim Idlib from Islamic militants backed by Turkey, the Syrian Arab Army and Turkish forces have been engaging in the fiercest of the clashes. As reports emerge, the Israeli Defence forces have also launched attacks on Syrian targets from the southern border.
