Syria has been ripped by an eight-year conflict between pro-government troops, militants from various groups that oppose President Bashar Assad, and terrorist groups, such as Nusra Front* and Daesh**. The latter have lost their positions in recent years due to massive operations carried out by the Syrian government.
The United Nations Security Council is holding a meeting on the situation in Syria at its main office in New York City.
Tensions escalated in Idlib province after the Syrian military shelled a Turkish observation post on 3 February, killing six military personnel and one civilian contractor. Turkey responded with a number of retaliatory strikes, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Friday that some 150 Syrian soldiers have been killed.
