Syrian Army destroys jihadist tunnels and bases along Turkish border
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) stepped up their attacks in the Latakia Governorate this past weekend, targeting several areas under the control of the jihadist rebels.

Led by the 4th Armored Division, the Syrian Arab Army unleashed a heavy barrage of missiles and artillery shells towards the jihadist tunnels and bases near the key town of Kabani in northeastern Latakia.

According to a military source in the Latakia Governorate, the Syrian Army relied on their military intelligence and that of their Russian allies to get the coordinates of these jihadist sites.

At the same time, units from the Syrian Army’s 4th Armored Division heavily targeted the bully boy positions in the Jabal Turkmen region, which is located along the Ottoman Turkish-Latakia border.

The Syrian Army reportedly targeted the jihadist movements in the Jabal Turkmen region after holy warriors aligned with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
and the Turkestan Islamic Party were seen expanding their presence in the area.

#1 "Kabani" is Kbanah, Latakia province in Syria if you are having trouble (as I did to find the place when your Google-Fu keeps trying to point to Kobane instead). A youtube video (Syrian War Report -August 12, 2019) points where it is (yes, yes, the *cough* dubious Southfront and Sputnik, but it has a handy map). Th place seems to be one of the few roads that you would need to cross the hilly terrain (logistics!) and try to pinch off another salient (only road and so forth).

#2 Tunnels go both ways.
Wonder if Syria is cleaning up for their Turkish friends?
