Syrian Army kills Al-Qaeda emir of Aleppo in northern Hama

The Al-Qaeda linked Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham group launched a large-scale offensive in the northern countryside of the Hama Governorate, Tuesday, targeting the key town of Ma’an near the Hama-Idlib Highway.

However, the Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham would not go according to plan, as the terrorist group lost scores of combatants while attacking the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions in the northern Hama countryside.

Among the militants killed in northern Hama were several high ranking commanders of Al-Qaeda, including the so-called ’emir’ of Aleppo: Abu Al-‘Abbas ‘Anadan.

The jihadist rebels are still launching sporadic attacks in the northern Hama countryside; however, they have failed to yield any advance near Ma’an.
