This map provides a general look at the military situation in northwestern Hama and southern Idlib following a recent series of the Syrian Arab Army’s advances in the area. Government forces have liberated several villages northeast and northwest of the militant-held part of northern Hama. Thus, they demonstrated their aim to tighten the siege on the towns of Moerk, Kafr Zita and Lataminah by cutting off supply lines to them. In the event of success, the Syrian Army and its allies will be able to isolate and eliminate militant forces deployed there.
