(Zaman Al Wasl)- Local opposition figure said people of Idlib province are not leaving the northern province towards regime-held areas, denying Russian reports published on Monday.
Khaled al-Khalaf, from the local council of Abu al-Thuhour town, said media outlets loyal to Bashar al-Assad are waging media war, aimed at instilling fear and terror among civilians of Idlib.
Russian news feeds said thousands of Idlib residents had fled to regime areas via the Tel Touqan crossing in the eastern countryside of Idlib.
Idlib has been a haven for tens of thousands of rebels and 2.3mn civilians who were forced to abandon their homes in other parts of western Syria that the regime and its foreign military allies have recaptured from rebels.
