敘利亞基地組織攻佔一重鎮伊德利卜大綱

A Syrian al-Qaida group and its allies have seized the Syrian city of Idlib for the first time in the country's four-year conflict.

The al-Nusra Front led other Islamic groups in Saturday's takeover following four days of fighting. The al-Nusra Front announced the capture of the northwestern Syrian city through social media.

Syria's official news agency did not report Idlib's fall, saying the army is fighting "fierce battles" to gain control of the city.

Idlib is the second provincial capital and major urban center lost by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces in the four-year-old conflict.

The northeastern city of Raqqa fell to rebels, including the al-Nusra Front, in 2013.敘利亞基地組織及其盟友在敘利亞歷時4年的衝突中第一次攻佔西北部城市伊德利卜。

敘利亞恐怖組織“勝利陣線”率領其它伊斯蘭激進武裝在四天戰鬥之後佔領了伊德利卜。

“勝利陣線”通過社交媒體宣佈了攻佔這座城市的消息。

敘利亞官方的通訊社沒有報道伊德利卜失陷的消息，只是說爲控制這座城市的政府軍在進行激烈的戰鬥。

伊德利卜是敘利亞總統阿薩德的軍隊在4年衝突中失守的第二個省份首府和大城市。

東北部城市拉卡2013年被包括“勝利陣線”在內的反政府武裝攻佔。
