After a violent attack by the regime, the quiet returns to the northeastern countryside of Hama
Hama Province, the Syrian Observatory for human Rights: the regime forces shelled areas in al-Zaghbah village and its surroundings in the northern countryside of Hama, but no information about casualties, while the calm returned to the northeastern countryside of Hama after the violent clashes that took place at noon on Friday the 24th of November 2017, between the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities against fighters of Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham and the rebel and Islamic factions, through which the regime forces tried to advance in the area and get closer to Rahjan town, the birthplace of the Syrian regime’s Defense Minister, Fahad Jassem al-Farij, where the Syrian observatory published hours ago that the raids on Idlib countryside are coincided with the continuation of the air strikes on areas in the north-eastern countryside of Hama adjacent Idlib, which targeted areas in Abu Dali, al-Mestriha and Al-Rahjan, after a series of intensive shelling by artillery and rocket shells on the same areas, followed by an attack by the regime forces on the area, in which clashes are still taking place between the regime forces backed by armed militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities against the fighters of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham and the rebel and Islamic factions, in an attempt by the regime forces to take the control of al-Mestriha and to advance and take the control of Al-Rahjan village which is the hometown of the Minister of Defense of the Syrian regime, Fahd Jassem al-Farij, and which the regime forces lost their control over, in the middle of July 2014, in which Nusra Front (Al Qaeda in the Levant) took the control of it then, and the regime forces are also trying to regain the control of Abu Dali village which was considered a crossing and a link between the controlled areas of the factions and the controlled areas of the regime, and it was the connecting point with the eastern countryside of Hama where the “Islamic State” organization was located.
