Syrian Army, Popular Forces Engage in Tough Battle with Terrorists Northeast of Lattakia

The Syrian Armed Forces stormed the positions of  al-Nusra Front, Ahrar Al-Sham, Jeish al-Turkmen and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) along the last two hilltops overlooking Kabani, and inflicted major casualties on the terrorists.

The Syrian Armed Forces hit the terrorists’ centers in the points 1125 and 1154 overlooking Kabani from its Southwestern flank.

Reports said on Thursday that the al-Nusra Front terrorist group called on its members in different parts of the country to join their comrades in Lattakia, fearing a massive impending loss in war with the Syrian army and its allies.

The Syrian army backed by Desert Hawks Brigade and the National Defense Forces (NDF) launched special operations to recapture the last hilltops at Kabani in Lattakia province, killing and injuring a large number of Takfiri terrorists.

The large-scale operations of pro-government forces forced the Takfiri terrorist group to send a large number of reinforcements to the Northeastern parts of Lattakia.

According to a military source, the al-Nusra Front received a significant number of fighters from the nearby al-Ghaab Plains.
