Jund Al-Aqsa suffers insurmountable losses in northern Hama
[ALMASDARNEWS] Jund al-Aqsa (Al-Qaeda franchise), backed by Faylaq al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA), launched another attack in the northern Hama countryside on Sunday, targeting the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) controlled town of Kawkab near Qamhana. The jihadist rebels began the assault by capturing the checkpoints outside of Kawkab, leaving them within striking distance of the town’s western flank. Following the capture of these checkpoints, the jihadist rebels stormed Kawkab’s western flank, resulting in a series of fierce festivities with the Syrian Arab Army’s 11th Tank Division and Iranian paramilitary fighters. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Jund al-Aqsa and their allies were unable to penetrate the government defenses after several attempts to enter Kawkab; this forced them to withdraw from the town’s western outskirts. According to a government source in Hama, the Syrian Arab Army’s 11th Tank Division seized 4 Jund al-Aqsa tanks, 2 BMPs, and 5 mounted machine guns. In addition to the seizure of these armored vehicles, the Syrian Arab Army also destroyed 3 tanks and 2 BMPs, while also killing over 30 jihadists on the battlefield. The northern Hama front is now quiet after several hours of nonstop fighting between the government and jihadist forces. Posted by: Fred 2016-09-05 |
