Xinhua news agency, Damascus, February 3 (reporter Zheng Yihan, Wang Jian) - Syrian state media reported on the 3rd that a military operation carried out by the US military in Idlib Province in Northwest Syria killed at least 13 people, including 6 children and 3 women.
Syrian news agency quoted local sources as saying that U.S. helicopters dropped special forces near the village of Atma in the north of Idlib province. Combatants surrounded some houses and launched a raid. At the same time, U.S. drones bombed.
The report said that as there are still trapped people under the ruins of the houses destroyed in the attack, the number of casualties may increase.
In addition, according to the "Syrian Human Rights Watch" headquartered in the UK, the location of the U.S. military operation is located in the border area between Idlib province and Turkey. The U.S. military operation was resisted by Syrian armed groups, and the conflict between the two sides lasted about three hours.
The US Defense Department later issued a statement saying that the US special forces had "successfully" carried out a counter-terrorism mission in Northwest Syria.
Syria's Idlib province borders Turkey and is the last major territory controlled by Syrian opposition armed and extremist organizations in Syria.
