Lebanese people show their support for Turkey's efforts to end the Assad regime's violence in northwestern Syria, on March 02, 2020 in Tripoli, Lebanon. On Sunday, Turkey announced a new offensive, Operation Spring Shield, in northwestern Syria to protect civilians from the regime attacks. It came after at least 34 Turkish soldiers were martyred and tens of others injured in an Assad regime airstrike in the de-escalation zone, just across Turkey's southern border, on Feb. 27. The Turkish soldiers are working to protect local civilians under a September 2018 deal with Russia under which acts of aggression are prohibited in the region.
