Jihadists suffered heavy losses to capture Hamamiyat, 2 emirs killed
2019-07-12
[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels launched an offensive in northwestern Hama on Wednesday, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at the town of Hamamiyat.

While the jihadist rebels were able to capture Hamamiyat, the attack proved to be incredibly costly for the bad boys, as dozens were reported dead or maimed.

According to a report from Hama, the two Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
emirs, Abu Hafez Kernaz and Qahoura Mahrouk, were killed during the attack on Hamamiyat last night.

In addition to the death of these commanders, the jihadist rebels lost over 25 Death Eaters during the attack on Hamamiyat.

Since capturing Hamamiyat, the jihadist rebels have attempted to seize nearby Kernaz, but they failed to do so, despite having the high ground.

The Syrian Arab Army is now preparing to storm the town in a bid to reverse the jihadist gains in northwestern Hama.

Apparently, large flightless birds have been added to the list of things we should care about, along with fluffy bunnies and kittens.
