BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) took advantage of the recently implemented ceasefire in Syria to target the jihadist stronghold of Jisr Al-Shughour, a military source told Al-Masdar News on Friday afternoon.
Several missiles fired from the Latakia Governorate struck the Turkestan Islamic Party’s (Al-Qaeda offshoot) positions in Jisr Al-Shughour, causing massive explosions that could be heard as far west as Salma.
These missiles fired by the Syrian Arab Army would rain over Jisr Al-Shughour for several minutes on Friday, killing and wounding a large number of Al-Qaeda linked jihadists.
The city of Jisr Al-Shughour is located in the Idlib Governorate’s western countryside near the northeastern border of Latakia; it’s proximity to Turkey’s Hatay Province makes it an imperative military endeavor for the Syrian Armed Forces.
