"An Army checkpoint at Zalin village was shelled with rockets fired by Lions of Islam in an attempt to score a ground advance. The assault was successfully repelled with artillery units targeting rebel positions and supply lines", the source explained.
The artillery shelling hit the rebels’ main supply route in al-Lataminah; the stronghold of Jaish al-Izza rebel group which carried out the attack.
"A vehicle equipped with a rocket launcher was also destroyed with all Lions of Islam onboard killed", the same source added.
The frontlines in northern Hama countryside have been active lately with jihadi Lions of Islam keep on attempting to break through the Syrian Army defensives.
Jaish al-Izza, an FSA-affiliated rebel faction, is part of a bigger alliance led by al-Qaeda-linked Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
which also includes smaller groups of Uzbek, Chechen and Uyghur bad boys.
