According to a military source in northern Hama, the Russian Air Force specifically bombed the jihadist positions inside the Jisr al-Shughour District.

Jisr al-Shughour has been under the control of the jihadist rebels since the Summer of 2015 when they launched an offensive to capture the district and the nearby al-Ghaab Plain.

These Russian Arclight airstrikes come just a day after the Ottoman Turkish military began patrolling the demilitarized zone inside the Idlib and Hama governorates.
