Hama: Turkish sock puppets attack Syrian army, run out of ammo


Rebels running out of ammo as countries cutoff supplies in northern Hama

[AlMasdar] (4:45 P.M.) – In a statement published by the STEP News Agency, the spokesperson for Ottoman Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army’s (FSA) Jaysh Al-Izza faction admitted that his rebel group is unable to respond to the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) attack because they lack ammunition in northern Hama.

The Jaysh Al-Izza spokesperson said they barely have enough ammunition to defend their territories should the Syrian Arab Army launch a new offensive to capture their northern Hama bastion.

He claims that the lack of ammunition is a result of little-to-no support from countries that used to support them; he says they are under siege as a result of this, but he did not name any of the nations.

The spokesperson added that should the Syrian Arab Army launch a new operation in northern Hama, they will be forced to fight a war of attrition.

Jaysh Al-Izza has managed to hold the key towns of Al-Latamnah and Kafr Zita for several years now, following their large-scale campaign that resulted in their expansion along the Hama-Idlib axis.

Islamist rebels attack Syrian Army stronghold in northern Hama

[AlMasdar] (8:45 P.M.) – The Islamist rebels launched a new attack on a government-held town in the northern countryside of the Hama Governorate this evening.

According to a military source in nearby Mhardeh, Jaysh Al-Izza militants fired a number of rockets towards the government stronghold of Salhab, causing several explosions in the process.

The source said that the Syrian Arab Army has since activated their rocket sirens in order to notify civilians in the area to seek shelter.

Since the Islamist rebels launched the attack, the Syrian Arab Army has responded with a heavy assault of their own.

A source from the Syrian Arab Army said that they are heavily bombarding the Jaysh Al-Izza stronghold of Kafr Zita in response to this latest attack by the latter.
