Syria: Jihadist rebels suffer another defeat after launching attack in northwestern Hama
The jihadist rebels launched a new attack against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the northwestern countryside of the Hama Governorate on Saturday morning.
Backed by Jaysh Al-Izza, the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham began their attack on Saturday by storming the town of Jalmeh from their positions at nearby Jibeen.
However, the jihadist attack on Jalmeh would ultimately fail, thanks in large part to the Syrian Arab Army’s strong defenses at the town’s western and northwestern flanks.
According to a military source in the Hama Governorate, the Syrian Arab Army knew of the jihadist attack before they began storming Jalmeh. The source said Syrian Army drones spotted a large militant gathering at the nearby town of Jibeen before the main jihadist attack began on Saturday.
