Inside Source: Early Morning Shelling of Villages in Idlib Province and More Army Defections

Heavy shelling of villages in the Jabal Az-Awiya region of Idlib occured early this morning. It is also reported that a contingent as large as 30 soldiers were in the midst of a firefight with soldiers loyal to the regime as they attempted to defect. Defections of soldiers from the Syrian army have increased in the last month as the use of violence around the country to repress protests has only increased and become more widespread.
