Syrian Army kills several Turkish-backed rebels in new attack on northern Hama
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels were not able to catch a break on Wednesday as they found themselves sandwiched between two separate forces that were both looking to inflict damage on their defenses.

Led by their Elite Republican Guard units, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) began their assault on northern Hama today by launching a large barrage of surface-to-surface missiles and artillery shells.

According to a military source in nearby Mhardeh, the Syrian Arab Army managed to kill several members of the Ottoman Turkish-backed al-Izza Army, while also destroying a number of trenches around the town of al-Latamnah.

The Syrian Arab Army’s attack was reportedly carried out in response to Jaish al-Izza’s infiltration attempt last night.

Jaish al-Izza has repeatedly attempted to bypass the Syrian Army’s defenses in northern Hama so that they could plant explosives along the government roads.
