The Syrian army positions in Hama and Aleppo were heavily pounded by missiles on Sunday night, the Damascus-based Sana news agency reported.

Several missiles hit the weapons depots in Southern Hama and al-Malekieh region North of Aleppo airport, field sources reported.

No one has yet admitted the responsiblity for the attack, but militants’ news outlets and social media networks said the US has fired the missiles from Al-Tanf border crossing in Eastern Syria.

Some other sources said that the missile attacks were carried out by the US and in response to the Syrian army’s advances East of Euphrates against the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The Kurdish militias’ recent forced recruitment in Raqqa has also led to clashes between them and the civilians.

Idlib

Sources close to the terrorist groups said a group of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) militants operating under the command of Abu Abdul Rahman Najib kidnapped three members of Faylaq al-Sham in Atemeh village in Northern Idlib and also abducted their media man Ahmad al-Akhras in the town of Darkoush in Western Idlib.

Fierce clashes continued on the northern direction under the army’s overwhelming firepower on al-Basil garden amid a retreat of terrorists.

SANA’s correspondent said that the storming units waged severe clashes against the terrorist groups in which they used various types of weapons, including sniper machine guns, mortar shells, heavy machine guns and others to hinder in vain the Army’s progress.

Heavy artillery and airstrikes targeted the terrorists’ positions, their dens and trenches used to transfer their logistic supplies, inflicting heavy losses upon the terrorists in personnel and arms, and cutting off their supply routes.

TEHRAN (FNA)- The US-led coalition fighter jets bombed the Syrian Army positions in Eastern Deir Ezzur after the army’s advances against the Washington-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the province, militant-affiliated websites reported on Tuesday.

The Syrian army’s advances in the region took place several days after construction of a bridge by the Russian forces between the two coasts of the Euphrates river for the passage of the military equipment and delivering them to the army positions in Eastern Euphrates, the sources added.

The army troops regained control over the two villages of al-Ji’eh and al-Janineh in Western Deir Ezzur after heavy clashes with the SDF forces.

Heavy infighting between the two main rival groups in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib caused people in the region to cut off Aleppo-Damascus highway to show their anger over the occupation of their towns by the terrorist groups.

In the meantime, a large number of people in the town of al-Abzamou in Western Aleppo demonstrated against Tahrir al-Sham in the last two days, calling for their expulsion.
