According to the source, the Syrian Arab Army’s upcoming offensives in northwestern Syria will concentrate on putting the military within position of striking Jisr al-Shughour from several axes.
In particular, the Syrian Arab Army will focus on two major axes: al-Ghaab (directly south of Jisr al-Shughour) and northeast Latakia (southwest of Jisr al-Shughour).
At the al-Ghaab Plain, the Syrian Arab Army will attempt to clear the northern part of this farming region, which is currently under the control of 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 Hurras al-Deen Group.
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Irene was indignant at the thought of doing such a thing without benefit of clergy...
in northeastern Latakia, the Syrian Army will attempt to capture the imperative town of Kabani, which is a key area that overlooks the northern part of al-Ghaab and southwestern Jisr al-Shughour.
The Syrian Army’s previous attacks on Kabani have led to many jihadists killed; however, they have not been able to enter the town.
With reports surfacing of the elite 25th Special Mission Forces Division (formerly Tiger Forces) deploying to the Kabani axis, this front will likely be a focal point in the coming weeks.
All of these operations should eventually lead the Syrian Army to the strategic city of Jisr al-Shughour.
Jisr al-Shughour is the de-facto capital for the jihadist rebels in Syria, as it is home to some of the largest groups, including Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, Hurras al-Deen group, and the Turkestan Islamic Party.
