Since May 12, 2020, the Syrian Arab army has inflicted powerful blows on the positions of militants on the Al-Gab plain. Jihadists from the terrorist group Islamic Party of Turkestan and from the radical pro-Turkish group Huras ad-Din are under fire. About this writes the news resource Al-Masdar News.
It was the militants of Huras ad-Din on May 10 that were able for some time to seize the village of Tanjara from the Syrian military in the province of Hama. As a result of this clash, government forces suffered casualties. This was the first case of an attack by ground forces from militants since the ceasefire in the Idlib de-escalation zone since March 6, 2020.
The settlement by the Syrian military was returned in the evening of the same day. Reinforcements have been deployed to this section of the front, and security measures have been strengthened. According to some observers, the Syrian Arab army is preparing to resume its offensive in several areas in northwestern Syria.
