HAMA, SYRIA (9:55 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s 47th Regiment of the 11th Tank Division launched a small-scale counter-assault on Sunday after losing the strategic village of Ma’an to the jihadist rebels this weekend.
Backed by the Syrian Air Force, the 47th Regiment managed to advance inside the town of Kbareah, killing and wounding a number of jihadists from Jund Al-Aqsa (Syrian Al-Qaeda franchise), while pushing north towards Ma’an.
According to local reports, the Syrian Armed Forces are mobilizing to launch a much larger attack in the coming days, as they attempt to reverse the jihadist rebel gains in the northern Hama countryside.
This upxoming offensive will be led by the Syrian Arab Army’s “Tiger Forces” and their commander Colonel Suheil Al-Hassan.
