The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that almost 200 Turkish military tanks and armored vehicles have entered Aleppo and Idlib since Sunday morning.

The Observatory said it monitored this morning the entry of a large Turkish military column to the Syrian territory via Kafr Lusin border crossing.

"The column of 40 military vehicles including tanks, personnel carriers, armored vehicles and military and logistical supplies, headed to the south but no information has been reported yet about its destination," it reported.

Meanwhile, Turkish Anadolu Agency said that the Turkish army sent new military reinforcements its units on the border with Syria.

This comes as Syria's regime continues to advance in areas under the opposition factions' control in Idlib and Aleppo.

Earlier, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara is losing patience with the military assault in Syria's Idlib region, adding that Russia is violating agreements that should put an end to violence in Syria, especially in Idlib.

"We will do whatever necessary if these bombardments do not stop,” he stressed.

British foreign minister David Lammy condemned Israel's attacks on medical facilities in Gaza on Sunday after two Israeli missiles hit a building inside a Gaza hospital.

"Israel's attacks on medical facilities have comprehensively degraded access to healthcare in Gaza," Lammy said in a short post on social media, Reuters reported.

"Al-Ahli Hospital has been attacked repeatedly since the conflict began. These deplorable attacks must end. Diplomacy, not more bloodshed, is how we will achieve a lasting peace."
