BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:25 P.M.) – The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham launched a surprise attack in the Houla Plain of northern Homs on Sunday evening that targeted the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at the Al-Qunnifiyah Checkpoint.
Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham would eventually take control of the Al-Qunnifiyah Checkpoint near Houla after overrunning the Syrian Army’s positions last night.
On Monday morning, Syrian Army reinforcements arrived to the Houla Plain to help drive back the jihadists and recover their lost points in northern Homs.
As of 1:00 P.M. (Damascus Time), the Syrian Arab Army has reversed all of the jihadist gains in the Houla Plain; however, they were unable to recapture their lost equipment.
