Syria Army Liberates More Areas in Hama
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syrian forces continued their operations against terrorist groups in the villages positioned between Idlib southern countryside and Hama northwestern countryside, managing to liberate more villages after fierce battles with them.
In less than 24 hours after liberating the strategic Shahshabou mountain and seven villages, army units on Friday liberated the villages of al-Mansoura, al-Ziyara, Khurbat al-Naqous, Tal Wasel, and Zaizoun Jadeeda in Hama’s northwestern countryside and Idlib’s southern countryside after intensive operations, SANA reported.
The report added that large groups of the terrorists were killed and injured in the process of the operation.
On Thursday, the villages of al-Huwash, al-Huweijah, Tanjara, al-Ankawi, al-Ameiqa, Shermghar, al-Areimah and the strategic Shahashibo mountain in al-Ghab Plain in Hama northwestern countryside were freed.
On August 5, the Syrian army declared in a statement the start of an offensive against foreign-sponsored militants in Idlib after those positioned in the de-escalation zone failed to honor a ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey and continued to target civilian neighborhoods.
