Jihadists launch large counter-attack in southern Aleppo to recapture lost towns

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:15 P.M.) – The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham launched a powerful counter-attack in the southern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate, today, targeting the towns they recently lost to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham began the attack by storming the town of Al-Ramleh, which was not well-defended by the Syrian Army and NDF troops there.

The jihadist group managed to recapture Al-Ramleh after the SAA and NDF troops at the town were forced to retreat to nearby Abisan and ‘Azizah.

According to a Syrian military source, HTS is now attacking the aforementioned towns in a bid to recapture everything they lost over the last 24 hours.
