The joint forces of Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra or al-Nusra Front), Failaq al-Sham, Jabhat Ansar al-Din and other militant groups have announced a fresh military operation, called ‘Ashoura Battle’, in the northern part of Syrian province of Latakia.
The operation is set to be focused on the Syrian army’s positions in the Kurdish Mountains (or Jabal al-Akrad).
Pro-militants sources have already claimed that the “moderate opposition” caputed some “strategic points” and took captive some fighters of “Assad forces”. Nonetheless, these reports have not been confirmed.
