Syrian Armed Forces launch counter-offensive in northern Hama

Minutes ago, the Syrian Armed Forces launched a counter-offensive in the northern Hama countryside, targeting the jihadist controlled town of Taybat Al-Imam.

Led by their elite “Tiger Forces,” the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) stormed the key town of Taybat Al-Imam from two axes, resulting in a fierce series of clashes that are still ongoing at the moment.

The Syrian Armed Forces conceded the town of Taybat Al-Imam to the jihadist rebels of Jund Al-Aqsa (Al-Qaeda franchise) and Faylaq Al-Sham on Wednesday after a day-long battle for control.

No progress has been reported from Taybat Al-Imam yet; however, the Tiger Forces and their allies are poised to recover this northern Hama town before the jihadist rebels successfully fortify it.
