The sources said that the army soldiers stormed ISIL’s defense lines and freed 19 civilians, including four children, kidnapped by the ISIL in al-Sa’an region and kept in a jail in the village of Um Sahrij in Northeastern Hama.

Earlier reports said that the army troops stormed the defense lines of the Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at or the Levant Liberation Board) in Northeastern Hama and drove the terrorists out of two more villages.

The army men hit Al-Nusra positions hard along the road connecting the towns of Sheikh Hilal to Ithriya and captured the villages of al-Khafiyeh and Rasm Sawi.

In the meantime, dissident-affiliated websites reported that one of the media men of Al-Nusra working for Aba’a news website was killed in clashes with the army soldiers in the village of Jubb Abyaz.
