Syrian Army surrounds Kinsibba in northeast Latakia

The Syrian Marines, backed by the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Desert Hawks Brigade, seized several points near the key mountaintop town of Kinsibba this morning after a series of intense firefights with Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest).

The Syrian Armed Force relied heavily on the Syrian Arab Air Force on Saturday morning, as they cleared a path for them after striking the jihadist rebels with a number of airstrikes over the Kinsibba front.

A field source inside northeast Latakia told Al-Masdar news this morning that the Syrian Armed Forces captured Shilaf castle and its corresponding hilltop, leaving several members of Jaysh Al-Fateh dead in the process of this latest advance near Kinsibba.

The source added that the Syrian Armed Forces have imposed fire control over Kinsibba after surrounding it from several point; however, they have yet to to enter this imperative town.
