Syrian Army Launches Surprise Operation In Northern Hama, Recaptures Key Village

Support SouthFront

Unexpectedly, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a ground operation in the northern Hama countryside in the late hours of July 28.

Following a few hours of heavy clashes with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies, the army managed to recapture the key village of Tell Meleh and its hill top.

According to pro-government activists, the SAA is currently advancing towards the nearby village of Jibeen under the cover of intense Russian and Syrian airstrikes.

A coalition of HTS, Turkish-backed groups and al-Qaeda affiliated factions captured Jibeen and Tell Meleh in a surprise attack earlier this month. The SAA made two attempts to recapture the villages before. However, they failed.

If the army mange to recapture Jibeen, it may develop its ground operation and advance towards the nearby towns of al-Lataminah and Kafr Zita.

Tell Meleh and its hill top has fallen. Good news, perhaps HTS in region has been weakened. Cmon tigers, wake up! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0c28d08251d5b13f96d187c430b21507a8b8eb2c4d6178c226a3d8cf14bc9558.jpg

Assad must stay (gr8rambino)

Truly excellent!!!

Simon Bernstein

wake up? they’ve been up since May and have failed to take the smallest villages. IDF could’ve steamrolled all of Idlib by now

Andrew

So could the SAA, but since May, Russia has stopped Syria from airstriking it and advancing in their ground offensive due to the Russian Turkish deal. Now it’s over, Idlib will be under the SAA. Idiot

That is ridiculous and pointless statement – US threats have been constant spoiler to any major SAA offensive operations in Idlib. Your statement does however reveal a great deal about you – a pure exercise in delusional self grandiosity.

Leave them alone they been sleeping last 8 years they not gonna wake up now??

What’s important in addition to moving the front lines forward. Is the lack of Turkish military interference as one of their observation posts are being overrun.

Now that they have the S-400s they’re also in a position to expand the buffer zone eastward to help clear the SDF out of northern Syria. And to participate in putting a no fly zone in place over NE Syria and Lebanon in conjunction with the SADF and Russian military. To clear the US out of Syrian skies. And the IAF out of Lebanese skies.

And to participate in a regional force to clear the baby rapers out of the occupied territories. Provided that they respect Syrian sovereignty and don’t attempt annexation of Syrian border territory like the Jews have done. Which was probably part of the S-400 deal.

PZIVJ

“Provided that they respect Syrian sovereignty” ?? Turks may be in training for the next few months on S400? It is a defensive weapon, a no fly zone also requires fighter aircraft.

RichardD

It’s dual use. The Iranians are flying converted US aircraft. The Turks have contingency plans to do the same thing. Especially after the attempted coup.

RichardD

Do you think that the Russians would sell the Turks S-400s without respect for Syrian sovereignty being part of the deal? I don’t.

gustavo

You dream. Turkey is a NATO member, and it is just doing what it has to do.

RichardD

You’ve been consistently wrong about the Russians and the Syrian war for years. Why would any right thinking rational person believe your stupidity?

El Mashi

Zionist will always spin a nightmare to make it a dream. Shalom

El Mashi

Egypt is a Saudi/Israeli vassal state; therefore, they are irrelevant.

RichardD

That wouldn’t be my take. They’ve fought 4 wars with the baby raper’s. And are clearly building an economy and military to insure that they win the next one if it happens.

El Mashi

Keep dreaming. Saudi is an Israeli vassal. Egypt is a Saudi vassal

RichardD

Egypt is no vassal. Tat’s why they didn’t provide ground troops in Yenen.

RichardD

In addition to not sending troops to Yemen that the Saudis were requesting. Egypt also withdrew from the Arab NATO. Egypt for all it’s problems. Is still the only Arab nation with anything approaching a world class military in terms of size and strength. And they’ve been wise in avoiding entangling it in unnecessary foreign military adventures. Which means that with it’s history. It potentially poses the greatest threat to Israel of all of it’s neighbors.

Though the Syrian government coalition is comparable if it holds together. Particularly if Turkey joins and Lebanon agrees to allowing a no fly zone to be established to discontinue IAF violations. Using SADF and Turkish air defense coverage and joint Turkish, Russian, and Syrian air patrols.

Every inch of the sacre soil of Syria will return to its millennial people.

Yes indeed it is a really surprise. Is sleeping SAA cells waking up ?

It takes time for the US/UK to train more terrorists and treat their wounded terrorists.

It looks to me like both the article map and the Syrian “Civil War” Map are showing the Turkish observation post in Mahgar as having been overrun by overrun the SAA. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/69199e3aecc97bfe9b6229897c89683b6de9c558fcb3c4d4db0fb5cdb17c48f1.png – Syrian Civil War Map –

RichardD

If they’ll respect Syrian sovereignty. Getting the Turks involved with Russian support would be a game changer for pushing the US out of NE Syria and the IAF out of Lebanese airspace. Upgrading the Syrian air force for joint Russian, Syrian, Turkish air patrols over Lebanon would be big help if the Lebanese will agree to it to stop IAF airspace violations.

The SAF isn’t capable of doing it itself. But with Turkish and Russian participation. That’s more than the IAF can handle.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Has even one of the towns the SAA have recently retaken been inhabited by anything more than the rebel fighters themselves, no not one. And all the towns the SAA have recaptured can’t even be caller towns anymore, they’re way too bombed out to be called towns now, they’re mostly just heaps of rubble that no longer have any, or very little strategic benefit at all. And in nearly all the areas the SAA have retaken towns in northern Hama, the local civilian populations had already agreed to, or were wanting to enter reconciliation talks with the Syrian government. By may last year nearly all the locals had agreed to stop supporting the Turkish backed rebels [FSA/NFL/SLF and others], and had finally decided to join the reconciliation process, but the rebels had other ideas and promptly captured and killed some of the most vocal reconciliation proponents. That stopped the reconciliation process in its tracks but it also increased the animosity the civilian population held towards the Turkish supported rebel groups. Is it a coincidence that the locals in northern Hama, who abandoned their support for the Turkish backed rebels in favour of joining the reconciliation process with Assad, had the rebels they were abandoning replaced by HTS fighters. HTS is a designated terrorist organization according to Turkish law and not officially supported by Turkey in any way [unofficially it’s a different matter], but they supposedly kicked out all the Turkish supported fighters [legal opposition groups according to the Astana agreement], and took their places in just a few months of infighting. That left all the illegal groups [according to Astana] like HTS and Al Nusra, in charge of all the areas where the civilian population last year had been wanting to switch sides. I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all, I think Erdogan orchestrated the whole thing.

FlorianGeyer

You make a valid point.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Thanks Florian.

Concrete Mike

This is the seperation of the “moderate” opposition( it doesnt really exist but this excercise still needed to be done to corner uncle schmuel) from the terrorists. Something Russia has been advocating for years .

The stupid militants are now separating themselves, it will judt take a bit of time thats all.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Putin and Assad were opposed to the “separation of the moderate opposition”, it was Erdogan who wanted to reorganize the rebels. Erdogan placed all the untainted rebel groups in the legal opposition groups [according to the Astana agreement], but left all the tainted rebel groups [known murderers and rapists], in HTS Al Nusra and a few other smaller factions, [illegal according to the Astana agreement], in other words I think he just reshuffled the deckchairs. HTS [10 to 12,000 fighters] and Al Nusra [20,000 fighters] ousted all the Turkish supported and legal opposition groups [at least 40,000 fighters] and took over more than 60% of Idlib, and Erdogan didn’t lift a finger to help his own proxies the NFL, FSA and SLF. but now all those legal Turkish opposition groups that HTS and Al Nusra kicked out of Idlib, are all coming back to help them defend it against the SAA, another one of Erdogan’s shenanigans I’d say. Erdogan moved about 20,000 of those legal opposition fighters that were stationed in Idlib to Aleppo, and then promptly redesignated them as Euphrates shield opposition fighters, so now he has a strong army in east Aleppo he can use to confront the Kurds, and the rest of his forces are in the north eastern parts of Idlib and west Aleppo [helping HTS protect the territory HTS stole from them]. And it’s no coincidence HTS and Al Nusra are stationed where they are, conveniently deployed to create a buffer zone between Erdogan’s legal opposition forces in Idlib and the SAA who surround them. I seem to see Erdogan’s fingerprints on nearly everything now. I think Assad’s trying to speed things up a bit now [and dragging Putin along for the ride], I think his patience for Putin and Erdogan’s geostrategic relationship has finally run out [thankfully]. And Assad doesn’t have all the time in the world either, he has to make a start on regaining all the US held territory [politically], and he can’t do that until the rebels in Idlib are dealt with, and the longer the US controlled autonomous zone remains in existence, the more people will accept it as a reality, just as they do the Kurdish autonomous region in Iraq.

klove and light

small potatoes BUT BUT BUT

should SAA gain Momentum and indeed capture Jibeen, they should not ok any further bullshit ceasefire Agreements between Russia and Turkey……time will tell…but i sure hope that SAA will now finally stop with These pathetic ridiculuos ceasefires

ps.. should Turkey openly again send arms and Equipment through thier miliatry bases in Idlib to the jihadi pricks, SAA should openly attack them……any other Option equals a SAA surrender to Turkey.

I mean it looks like in this operation they have overrun a Turkish post without resistance, idk if Turks left (probably under new deal related to s-400)

to all truth fighters, although i dislike the giews. i think we would be much more effective and successfull if we differenciate the zio mafia terrorists from the intelectually impaired imbreds they govern over. giews are only 2% of the population but zioterrorists are 99 % of gov media and banking. So please keep the eye on the ball and make it impossible for terrorists of any religion to even try.
