Syrian Army prepares for massive Latakia offensive
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Armed Forces are preparing for another massive offensive in the northeastern part of the Latakia Governorate after successfully capturing the key town of Kinsibba earlier this month.Led by the Desert Hawks Brigade and Syrian Marines, the Syrian Armed Forces will be targeting the imperative village of Kabbani, which overlooks the Al-Ghaab Plains from its western flank. Kabbani has long been a target for the Syrian Armed Forces; however, it is heavily fortified by the Jaish Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) jihadists, due to its proximity to another important village: Al-Sirmaniyah Both Kabbani and Al-Sirmaniyah are located along the path to the jihadist stronghold of Jisr Al-Shughour; this city has been under the control of Jaish Al-Fateh since May 2015.
