Idlib-Hama

The Syrian Army's artillery and missile units pounded terrorists' bases and movements in Idlib and Hama provinces on Saturday, preempting attacks by Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) from the demilitarized zone mentioned in Sochi Agreement.

The artillery and missile units shelled terrorists' positions in the villages of Lahaya and Ma'arkabah in Northern Hama after militants tried to prevail over the government forces' positions from the demilitarized zone.

In the meantime, other units of the army, tipped off on the movements of Jeish al-Izzah terrorists near the small town of al-Latamina, targeted them and preempted their attack, inflicting several casualties on them.

The army soldiers engaged in heavy fighting with terrorists, deployed South of the town of Morek, and repelled their attempt to prevail over the government forces' positions in Tal Bazam.

A number of militants were killed or wounded and their remaining pockets retreated from the battlefield.

Other artillery units, monitoring terrorists' movements, launched attacks on the militants in the small towns of al-Arabaeen, al-Zakat, Tal al-Sakhar and Hasraya and destroyed their positions.

Also, terrorists' movements in Skeik and al-Kowein regions East of Ma'arat al-Nu'aman in Southeastern Idlib came under the army's artillery attack that inflicted heavy casualties on the militants and defused their impending attack.

A military source said that the army targeted a military convoy of Ajnad al-Qafqaz terrorists in al-Kowein and al-Farajah in Southeastern Idlib, inflicting major losses on them.

The terrorists' refusal to implement the Sochi Agreement to establish a demilitarized zone is pushing the army to initiate its long-waited assault on militants in Idlib that had been put on hold due to the Sochi Agreement.
