The Syrian Arab Army has kicked-off a new offensive against terrorist militants of the Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (Syrian Al-Qaeda affiliate) in northeast Hama province with the goal of reaching western Idlib province.
According to military sources, vanguard formations of the Syrian Army have initiated a major offensive action in that last few hours northwest of the garrison town of Ithriyah.
Reports state that the Syrian Army has so far freed the town of Jibb Abyad and is shooting for the strategic Abu Duhur military airport in western Idlib province which was controlled by rebel forces many years ago.
It appears that the Syrian Army is taking advantage of Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham’s commitment to fighting ISIS in the area.
