New Wave Of Syrian Airstrikes Targets Terrorists In Northern Lattakia

Early on October 6, attack helicopters of the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) targeted the key town of Kabani in northern Lattakia with a series of airstrikes.

Kabani is a stronghold of different al-Qaeda-affiliated groups, including Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Horas al-Din, the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) and Ajnad al-Kavkaz (AK). Hundreds of terrorists are reportedly taking shelter inside the abandoned town and in its outskirt.

The SyAAF has been pounding terrorists’ positions in Kabani for more than a week now. The airstrikes usually target fortifications, like tunnels, trenches and berms.

Russian news agency, Sputnik, reported on October 4 that HTS and the TIP agreed to fortify their remaining positions in northern Lattakia. The area is supposedly a part of Idlib de-demilitarized zone, where terrorists are not allowed to have any presence.

The escalation in northern Lattakia suggest that the region could soon witness a military confrontation between the SAA and the terrorists.
