[ALMASDARNEWS] Dozens of jihadist forces of Evil were neutralized on Friday evening as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) conducted a tactical withdrawal from a number of points, only to retake them hours later. After the arrival of new Tiger Forces reinforcements earlier in the day, the SAA quickly recaptured Maardes Silos, al-Tarabia checkpoint, the Maardes army base and cemented its control over the nearby village of Iskandariya ... named after Alexander the Great, today it's a mostly Sunni-inhabited slum ... h after attacking the area from two flanks. Now, the Tiger Forces are once again gearing up for a looming assault on Maardes and will look to capture Souran in the following days. If succesful, they will have reversed all jihadist gains since rebel forces began a large-scale offensive on March 21. Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, the primary faction fighting in rural Hama, is outnumbered by the pro-government forces but is nevertheless putting up a defiant effort to stop the SAA from pushing into the Idlib governorate, considered Islamist heartland. |
