The regime forces defeated in Idlib, and the legend of Sohil al- Hasan, aka al- Nemer (the tiger)”, crashes on its walls

 

 

Al- Fatah Army, which consists of Jabhat al- Nusra, Jund al- Aqsa, Ahrar al- Sham Movement, Jaysh al- Sunnah, al- Sham Legion, al- Haq Brigade and Ajnad al- Sham, took control over areas in Tal Hakami, Bsanqoul, Ayn al- Hamra, Jannat al- Qura, town of Mhambel located on the road of Ariha- Lattakia and al- Ma’sarah checkpoint that is considered the biggest regime checkpoint in Idlib. The area has witnessed ongoing clashes in an attempt by al- Fateh Army to seize the whole area and expel the regime forces. The clashes resulted in the death of 13 fighters of al- Fateh Army and 32 members of the regime forces and allied militiamen.

 

The area witnessed in the past days bringing more than 6000 members by the regime forces from Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan to Sahal al- Ghab in northwest of Hama and to the adjacent areas in the countryside of Lattakia in order to re- take the city of Jeser al- Shogour but these forces had failed to advance and they even failed to preserve their checkpoints and positions that they were seizing in the area located between the two cities of Ariha and Jeser al- Shogour seized by al- Fateh Army days ago. In addition to, the repeated attacks carried out by al- Fateh Army, al- Forqan Brigades, al- Islam Army, Ansar al- Sham, Turkestan Islamic Party, the Chechen Sham Soldiers and the Coastal First Division on the regime- held areas in the countryside of Idlib destroyed the legend of “the colonel Sohil al- Hasan, also known as al- Nemer (the tiger)”. This man has been recalled by Syrian regime in early April in order retake the city of Idlib but instead, they lost all the city except some positions in the areas of al- Qarqour, Friki, some scattered villages on the administrative boundaries of Idlib with the province of Hama, the towns of al- Fo’ah and Kefraya inhabited by Shias people as well as the airbase of Abo al- Dohur. Thus, Sohil al- Hasan moved from the military camp of al- Mostamah near the city of Idlib to the village of Jorin in Sahel al- Ghab where there is a joint military operation room among the Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Sohil al- Hasan and Hezbollah.
