Jihadist rebels fire barrage of guided missiles at Syrian Army in northeast Hama
2017-11-06
[ALMASDARNEWS] With the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) pressing to expel jihadist forces from the northeastern countryside of Hama, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies are setting up an anti-tank traps to make government forces pay a heavy price for advances on the ground.

Footage released by HTS on Sunday shows its fighters launching a guided missile towards an SAA artillery position at the newly liberated town of Shakushiyah, striking a 130 mm field gun which likely took damage upon impact:

branch) destroyed a SAA bulldozer on Sunday as it sat stationary on the southern outskirts of Abu Dali, a former trade village which HTS overran last month.

The bulldozer was knocked out by a US-manufactured TOW missile supplied to the FSA; subsequently, thick black smoke could be seen rising over the targeted site.

Remarkably, three similar videos were released by HTS and allied FSA factions on Friday too, suggesting a drastic increase in the use of anti-tank missiles against the SAA.
