Northwestern Syria offensive (April–August 2019)

The 2019 northwestern Syria offensive, codenamed "Dawn of Idlib" (Arabic: فجر إدلب), was a military operation launched on 30 April 2019 by the Syrian Armed Forces and its allies against rebel groups in northwestern Syria during the Syrian civil war in a region known as "Greater Idlib", consisting of northwest Hama, southern Idlib and northeastern Latakia provinces. The government's main objectives were to open the M5 highway and to expel non-compliant militant groups, particularly Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), from the 15–20 km demilitarized zone demarcated by Turkey and Russia at Sochi in 2018.
