Rebel forces attack Syrian Army troops in northern Hama

BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:20 A.M.) – The Free Syrian Army’s Jaysh Al-Izza faction launched a new attack against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops in the northern countryside of the Hama Governorate on Monday.

According to pro-opposition activists, Jaysh Al-Izza specifically targeted the government-held towns of Helfaya and Al-Safsafiyah near the Idlib Governorate’s provincial border.

In response to this attack by the FSA, the Syrian Arab Army began to heavily target the Jaysh Al-Izza towns of Al-Lataminah and Kafr Zita with a flurry of missiles and artillery shells.
