Syrian Army Kicks off Fresh Anti-Terrorism Offensive in Northern Hama

 

The Syrian Army troops launched massive attacks on terrorists’ defense lines in the town of Halfaya managed to make a significant advance against terrorists.

The army forces and their popular allies, backed up by the artillery units, started a fresh offensive against terrorists’ positions around Halfaya at dawn on Sunday, suppressing and destroying the defense lines of the militants.

Military sources reported that the government forces are steadily approaching the city, adding that an intense battle is underway within a one-mile distance from Halfaya.

Halfaya remains the last major stronghold of the terrorists in the province of Hama.

The Syrian army continues to push militants to the borders of Idlib province.

Sources said on Saturday that after a week of deadly clashes in Northern Hama, the militants’ defense lines finally buckled as government forces retook a large part of the territory from various terrorist factions in Central Syria.

They added that the Tiger Forces alongside the army soldiers stormed numerous checkpoints on the proximity of the Christian city of Mahardeh.

The sources went on to say that after a brief firefight in the afternoon, the Syrian army seized the Khattab warehouses and Tal Flifleh hilltop just to the North. Minutes later, government forces also seized the Al-Shliout and Abu Ubaydah checkpoints on a different axis in what appears to be a major counter-offensive.

Effectively, a looming terrorist assault on Mahardah town was repelled by the army men in the eleventh hour, they further said.
