The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors human rights violations in conflict zones in Syria, reports that Syrian refugees holding "temporary protection identity" in Turkey are being forcibly deported to areas controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Syria.

Following Turkey’s downing of two aircraft of Syrian army, the airspace over Idlib has been shut down. While Russia's Defense Ministry says that it cannot guarantee the security of Turkey’s aircraft, Putin says “they do not plan to go to war with anyone.”

It was not clear if the observation point was targeted as clashes have been going on between the Syrian army and opposition factions in the area, the SOHR has said.

The Syrian Army has taken control of Khan Sheikhoun, a key town for the opposition in Idlib. Supported by Turkey, the Free Syrian Army has also confirmed that the rebels have withdrawn from the town.
