Russian Air Force hammers southern Idlib for 2nd straight day
2018-08-20
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force continued their strikes over the southern countryside of Idlib, today, targeting the jihadist rebel trenches near the Hama provincial border.

Russian jets flying out of the Hmeymim Airbase launched several Arclight airstrikes over southern Idlib, today, hitting the trenches that were raised by the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
and Jaish al-Izza.

The trenches were reportedly located near the Idlib Governorate towns of Sukeek and al-Taman’ah, which are future targets for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies .

In addition to the strikes by the Russians, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) also carried out their own attack on the Hama-Idlib axis.

The Syrian Air Force reportedly targeted the Hama Governorate towns of al-Lataminah, Aleywi, Zakat, and Kafr Zita.

In the coming days, the Syrian Arab Army is expected to kickoff their long-awaited offensive to retake northern Hama and several towns in southern Idlib.
