| [ALMASDARNEWS] Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) retained full control over Taibat al-Imam on Monday as a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) assault earlier in the day proved to be mostly probing attacks which revealed a high number of jihadist bully boyz to be entrenched inside the town ahead of the anticipated government offensive. Subsequently, commander-in-chief Suheil al-Hassan requested the Russian Air Force to intensify its sorties on the Islamist stronghold as little to no civilians are believed to be inside Taibat al-Imam with most fleeing the volatile battlefield in advance. Nevertheless, the Tiger Forces ‐ assisted by the 47th and 87th brigade of the SAA’s 11th Division ‐ managed to keep control of the al-Qitban checkpoint that will now be used as a launching pad for renewed assaults on Taibat al-Imam. The Tiger Forces often deploy diversionary attacks before unleashing the bulk of its assault troops on jihadist belligerents, causing great distress for enemy combattants of Suheil al-Hassan. The Major General is now drawing up plans for the decisive assault on Taibat al-Imam while Russian sorties do the dirty work in the meantime. While the SAA neutralized dozens of HTS bully boyz in the battle for Souran yesterday, the Tiger Forces also captured a handful of HTS bully boyz from Turkistan. HTS is considered a tacit al-Qaeda group and is considered a terrorist organization by most countries worldwide, including the United States and Russia. |
