In the afternoon of March 16, radical militants launched a barrage of rockets at the Christen town of al-Suqaylabiyah in the government-held part of the northern Hama countryside.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that a woman was killed and four other civilians, including children, were injured in the attack. Local sources said that the victim, Ayat al-Mahmud, was pregnant.
Few minutes after the attack, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) responded by striking militants’ positions in the city of Jisr al-Shughur in northwestern Idlib. A military source told SouthFront that heavy rockets were used in the strike. However, he declined to provide additional information.
Jisr al-Shughur is infamous for being a stronghold for the al-Qaeda-affiliated Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) and several other terrorist group. The terrorists captured the strategic city from the SAA following a fierce battle in 2015.
The upcoming hours will likely witness more attacks by the SAA, as the militants are clearly planning to escalate the situation around Idlib once again.
bomb the hell out of that scum
Good news: https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrias-s-300-systems-nearly-ready-for-service-source/
Right now this is operating already, but any excellent weapon is useless if it is not used. I doubt this weapon will be used against Israel planes.
It seems that the Syrian S300 will cover the Northwest and a big part of the Northeast. Question: if so, why? And another interesting question: how many Syrian crews were trained?
Why the Northeast? The SAA is only holding a small area there and i highly doubt they will launch any attack there on the Kurds.
The S300 are defensive weapons.
Yeah I know, but why should the SAA be attacked there?
When Idlib’s offensive will start, they are going to try to attack anywhere they can. So, the S300 will not let them.
This was going to happen sooner or later. Hopefully Idlib will be free soon and back to Syria. President Assad will free every inch of Syria.
This is not an offensive on Idlib and will have little or non impact against the terrorists. Russia has been stopping this offensive to please Turkey and its terrorists in Idlib. Until Russia decides to stop pleasing Turkey in this area, non offensive at all will start on Idlib.
This is the start of the offensive, both the Syrian govt and the terrorists are getting restless with Turkey and Russia. Its gonna happen pretty soon as Turkey cant control these terrorists.
With out Russian and Turkey permission. saa can do nothing they haveing lots of baked beans lately
The ones stopping syrians are the russians, turkey is nothing to them, beside they have a much better fighting army the turks will ever have, so turkey is not something the syrians take into consideration.
What Syrian army?
If the russians stop protecting you, I am sure they will introduce themselves to all of you personally. watch what you wishing for kid.
Because Russia stopping Turkey. We go all the way to Damascus no problem we clear all the terrorists from Syria. that’s what you call a good neighbour helping
