The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) units operating in the eastern countryside of Idlib thwarted an attack by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham on its positions near the town of ‘Aajaz.

According to reports, the jihadist rebels attacked the Syrian Army’s positions in the direction of ‘Aajaz, prompting a fierce confrontation between the two forces.
