One day after entering the imperative town of Al-Sirmaniyah inside the western countryside of the Al-Ghaab Plains, the Syrian Arab Army’s 45th Regiment of the 1st Armored Division – in coordination with the Imam Al-Baqeer Brigades of the National Defense Forces (NDF) – have captured the town of Safsafa following a morning of intense firefights with the Islamist rebels of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra”, and Ansar Al-Sham.
The town of Safsafa is located on the border of the Latakia and Hama Governorate; it is situated just south of the recently captured town of Al-Fawru in the Ghaab Plains of the Hama Governorate.
With Safsafa, Al-Fawru, and Jubb Al-Ahmar under their control, the Syrian Arab Army and the National Defense Forces are in a prime position to begin an offensive to retake the Jisr Al-Shughour District of western Idlib; however, this will not be a cake walk for the Syrian Armed Forces, as the conglomerate of Al-Qaeda factions “Jaysh Al-Fateh” (Army of Conquest) has a powerful grip over this region inside the province.
To counter the Islamist rebels being deeply entrenched inside of the Jisr Al-Shughour District, the Russian Air Force has stepped up to the plate, hitting numerous targets in the aforementioned districts with repeated airstrikes and powerful artillery.
