Led by their 4th Armored Division, the Syrian Arab Army unleashed over 100 missiles from their MLRS launcher towards the key town of Al-Ta’manah. According to a military source in nearby Hama, the Syrian Arab Army was heavily targeting Al-Ta’manah after some militants from Jaysh Al-Izza attempted to infiltrate their positions prior to the attack. Following the attack on Al-Ta’manah, the Syrian Arab Army shifted their attention to the town of Sukeek, where they repeatedly fired several artillery shells and surface-to-surface missiles towards the militant defenses. The Syrian Arab Army has become increasingly aggressive along the Hama-Idlib axis, as their recent string of reinforcement convoys have built up their power in this part of northwestern Syria.
