The terrorists of Jeish al-Izzah targeted civilian neighborhoods in Mahradeh city in Northern Hama from al-Latamanieh with Turkey-made cluster bombs, killing and injuring at least 39 civilians, including a number of women and children, battlefield sources said.

The sources said that Turkey has equipped the terrorist groups in Northern Syria with banned weapons such as cluster bombs.

The Syrian army also retaliated by pounding terrorists’ positions in Kafar Zita, al-Latamanieh, al-Zuka Hasraya, al-Arbaeen, Mourek, Latmin and Hayalin in Northern Hama with heavy missile and artillery attacks.

The Syrian troops managed to inflict heavy losses and casualties on terrorists in their attacks.

The news comes as Ankara is duty-bound to monitor and prevent terrorists’ movements in accordance with Astana agreement.

Meantime, the Syrian army has been pounding the military positions and moves of the terrorists in Northern Hama and Southern Idlib as a prelude to its impending massive military operations in Idlib.

The Damascus Army forces on Friday hit hard the command centers of Al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups in al-Latamineh 8 kilometers East of Khan Sheikhoun and the village of al-Tah North of Khan Sheikhoun in Southern Idlib.

The Syrian Army also pounded the terrorists’ training centers in Tal Aas village in Southern Idlib.

Meantime, other Syrian army units hit the terrorists’ positions in the outskirts of Kafar Zita town in the Northern countryside of Hama province, destroying terrorists’ field hospital in the region.

News websites close to terrorist groups, meantime, reported that the Syrian army’s missile and artillery units pounded the towns of al-Bariseh and al-Khovin on Thursday.

The Syrian air force also pounded al-Latamineh after bombarding the terrorists’ positions in Northern countryside of Hama.

In a relevant development last month, the Russian and Syrian fighter jets carried out massive bombing raids on terrorists’ positions in Northwestern Hama and Western Idlib, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.

The Arabic-language Moraseloun news website reported that the fighter jets conducted a heavy bombing on terrorists’ positions in a large region stretching from Southern Idlib to the al-Ghaab Plain in an introduction to the upcoming ground assault.

In the meantime, the warplanes stuck terrorists’ strongholds in Jisr al-Shughour, Jabal al-Zawiyeh, Marowaj, al-Shaqar, Harash Basnaqoul, Anab, al-Janoudiyeh, Qani, al-Sarmaniyeh and Zeizoun, inflicting major casualties on the terrorists.
