The source said that the Syrian Army warplanes carried out airstrikes on the terrorist organizations’ positions in the towns and villages of Tibet al-Imam, al-Kabaria, Tal al-Zaatar, Skeik and Mourek and in the vicinity of Atshan, al-Shaatha and al-Telasia villages in the Northern part of the Hama Province.

The source pointed out that in parallel with the terrorists who were killed or injured in the airstrikes, several tanks and armored vehicles laden with weapons and ammunition were also destroyed.

Field sources said that reestablishment of security in al-Ma'ardes and water tankers area in the Eastern parts of Ma'ardes village and the heavy artillery and machinegun fire from Zein al-Abedin mountain helped the army to advance and drive the terrorists towards the depth of Northern Hama.

"Ma'ardes and Kafra are now under army control," the sources added.

Also, the Syrian and Russian warplanes attacked the militants' gathering centers and hideouts as well as their military vehicles near Ma'ardes and Halfaya villages and inflicted heavy tolls and damage on Fatah al-Sham Front (the newly-formed al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group previously known as the al-Nusra Front) terrorists; FNA reported.
