[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their advance in northern Hama this evening after seizing several areas earlier in the day.

Led by the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army attacked a number of points under the control of Jaish al-Izza in northern Hama tonight.

According to a military source in northern Hama, the Syrian Arab Army managed to capture the town of Jaysat and nearby Damyoun Farms after a short battle with the snuffies of Jaish al-Izza.

With these latest losses, the snuffies of Jaish al-Izza find themselves on the verge of expulsion from the Hama Governorate.

On Thursday, opposition activists reported that several Ottoman Turkish military vehicles made their way to the observation post in the Hama Governorate town of Sheir Magher.

The Syrian Army has repeatedly called on Turkey to withdraw their troops from these observation posts; however, Ankara has refused, claiming that they are peacekeeping forces.
