Backed by heavy artillery, the Syrian Arab Army’s 25th Special Mission Forces Division (formerly Tiger Forces) stormed the town of Al-Gharfah near the eastern flank of Ma’arat Al-Nu’man in eastern Idlib.

According to a military source, the Syrian Arab Army is now in full control of Al-Gharfah following a short battle with the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) this morning.

The Syrian Arab Army is now attempting to surround Ma’arat Al-Nu’man before they make their first attempt to capture the strategic city from the jihadist rebels and their Turkish-backed allies.

This latest advance comes just hours after the 25th Division of the Syrian Arab Army reached the outskirts of Ma’arat Al-Nu’man, marking their closest approach to the city in years.
