Syrian Army Opens Heavy Fire at Terrorists' Positions in Idlib, Hama

TEHRAN (Defapress)- The Syrian Army artillery units launched a heavy shelling on the positions and movements of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) and other terrorist groups in Northern Hama and Southern Idlib on Sunday, inflicting major losses on the militants.
The artillery and missile units pounded the strongholds of Tahrir al-Sham and other terrorist groups in the villages of Ma'arkabah, Tal al-Sakhar, al-Araba'ein, Hasraya, Abu Ra'eideh Sharqi in Northern Hama.

Other artillery and missile units shelled terrorists' positions in the villages of al-Huweiz and al-Zaqoum in Western al-Ghaab Plain and farms near the town al-Tamanna in Southeastern Idlib and Western Jisr al-Shughour and in the small town of al-Najiyeh in Western Idlib.

Tens of terrorists in Hama and Idlib were killed or wounded and their military equipment were destroyed in the army artillery fire.

In a relevant development last week, the missile and artillery units heavily targeted Tahrir al-Sham bases in Kafr Zita, al-Latamineh, Ma'arkabeh and Hasraya in Northern Hama.

Meantime, field sources reported that the terrorists who had moved from Idlib and Jabal al-Zawiyeh to Northern Hama sustained, at least, 54 casualties in the battle, adding that the army also destroyed more than a dozen vehicles as well as military equipment of the militants.

Also, the Syrian army units continued purging operations in the farms of the town of al-Aqrab in Southern Hama, discovering and seizing large volumes of different types of weapons and ammunition, including mortars, artilleries, RPGs and weapons made in Israel.
