Monday Morning (Local Time) Syrian Armed Forces launched their long-anticipated northeastern Latakia offensive to capture the key rebel-controlled town of Kabbani in the Kurdish Mountains (Jabal Al-Akrad). Led by the Syrian Marines and Desert Hawks Brigade, the Syrian Armed Forces stormed the Zuwayqat Mountains at the southern perimeter of Kabbani, where they were confronted by a host of terrorists from Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham.

While the Syrian Armed Forces conduct their assault from the ground, the Russian Air Force is providing them necessary air support, as they pound Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham’s defenses around the Idlib axis.

Kabbani is heavily fortified by the Jaysh Al Fateh (Army of Conquest) terrorists, due to proximity to another important village of Al Sirmaniyah, AMN reports.

Both Kabbani and Al-Sirmaniyah are located along the path to the terrorists stronghold of Jisr Shughour (Jisr al-Shughur); this city has been under the control of Jaysh Al-Fateh since May 2015.
