The sources further said that the army is planning to kick off a large-scale operation in different flanks to liberate Idlib province.

The source further said that deployment of more army forces and equipment is mainly aimed at countering possible attacks of the terrorists and also preparing for a large-scale cleansing operation to purge the region from the remaining pockets of the terrorists.

The source went on to say that fourteen civilians, including children and women, were killed or wounded in the terrorists' mortar attack on al-Lairamoun region North of Aleppo.
