Hasaka
The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Wednesday that a fresh round of tensions has erupted between the Syrian Army troops and the Kurdish fighters in Hasaka city after the two sides started arresting forces of each other.
The SOHR reported that the army and the Kurds have put their forces on alert in Hasaka city, adding that tension erupted after the Kurds arrested three army soldiers in the Northern entrance of Hasaka city and the army arrested two Kurds in the Central part of the city.
Local sources said that over 100 army men have arrived at an army base out of the city to reinvigorate government forces' positions in Hasaka.
Idlib
Military sources disclosed on Wednesday that the Syrian Army troops are preparing for breaking the siege imposed by terrorists on the Shiite towns of Fua'a and Kafraya in the Northeastern countryside of Idlib city within the framework of their operation to free the Abu al-Dhohour airbase.
The sources pointed to the army's ongoing operations to reach Abu al-Dhohour airbase in Southeastern Idlib and added that the army's control over the base will pave the way for the easier advances and ultimately lift of the siege imposed by militants on Fua'a and Kafraya.
The army's plan for Fua'a and Kafraya comes after the terrorist groups' violation of their commitment to the agreement for the exit of residents of Fua'a and Kafraya and indifferences of international relief and rescue bodies to the besieged towns' population.
The Syrian army is currently advancing towards Abu al-Dhohour from two fronts in Northern and Northeastern Hama and a front in Southern Aleppo.

The Arabic-language al-Watan daily quoted Syrian Parliament Member Hossein Raqeb as saying that people across Idlib province have called on the army to free their villages and towns from terrorists.
He further said that tens of telephone calls have been received from different parts of the province, declaring supports for the army troops and intention to join the pro-government forces.
