Syrian Army fully repels jihadist advance in northern Latakia, Top Turban Drops By
[AlMasdar] The jihadist rebels attempted to advance in the northern countryside of Latakia last night, a military source told al-Masdar News.

Led by Jabal al-Islam, the jihadist rebels attempted to catch the Syrian Arab Army and their allies from the National Defense Forces (NDF) off guard near the large hilltop of Tal Ziwaqiyat near the Ottoman Turkish border.

However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
the attack would ultimately be repulsed by the Syrian Armed Forces after a short battle with the jihadist rebels last night.

The Syrian Arab Army was able to prepare for this jihadist attack after one of their reconnaissance drones captured footage of Jabal al-Islam’s movements in northern Latakia.

Jabal al-Islam has launched several attacks like this in the past, with many of them being often successful in the Jabal al-Turkmen region of Latakia.

[AlMasdar] The top jihadist leader in Syria made a rare visit to the front-lines in northern Latakia, the official media wing of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
reported today.

According to HTS’ official media wing, their leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani made a rare visit to the jihadist stronghold of Kabani in northern Latakia.
