Following the liberation of Uqayribat in the eastern Hama countryside, Syrian government forces liberated Zaghrutiyah, Um Ma’our, Kherbet Haywaniyah and Qur Tahin.
ISIS responded with a counter-attack against government troops in the town of Uqayribat and engaged the army and its allies in a series of firefights. ISIS used suicide bombers during the attack. However, the terrorist group was not able to re-capture the strategic town.
