Russian, Syrian warplanes strike foreign jihadists in Hama, Latakia
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Last night and earlier this morning, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF), alongside their Russian counterparts, carried out a half dozen Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s over the Latakia and Hama governorates.

According to a field source, the Syrian Air Force was responsible for the attack on the foreign jihadist positions in the key town of Kabani, while both air forces launched strikes on the northern part of the al-Ghaab Plain region.

The source stated that the airstrikes primarily targeted the positions of the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP)
...that’s the Uighurs...
and Hurras al-Deen group,
...the current incarnation of non-Syrian Al Qaeda in Syria...
two foreigner-led groups that have carried out attacks against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) last month.

Despite repeated calls by the Russian Ministry of Defense to expel these jihadists from northwestern Syria, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
has been reluctant to clear them the M-4 Highway (Aleppo-Latakia Highway).

Turkey’s reluctance has caused some friction in northwestern Syria, as both the Russian and Syrian armed forces believe these foreign jihadist groups should have no future in the country’s political settlement.
