2015-04-27
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syrian rebels on Saturday has made remarkable gains by taken control of northeastern town of Jisr al-Shughour on the enclaves of Latakia, Bashir al-Assad's hometown, as well by taking control of 5 villages in predominantly Alawite region of Sahl al-Ghab in the western countryside of Hama province.

The conservative Islamic factions, including the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front took control of al-Qahera, al-Ziyara, Tal Awsat, Tal Zajram and al-Mansoura.

Saturday gains in Idlib and Hama may haste the collapse of forces loyal to Assad as fear and panic hit high records amid the Alawite minority, activists said.
