BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:45 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) managed to ward off an attempted ambush by the militants in northern Latakia this morning, a military communique read.
According to the communique, the Syrian Arab Army spotted a group of jihadist rebels inching towards their positions near the strategic town of Kinsibba, prompting them to open fire on the militants before they could reach their intended target.
A fierce battle would ensue between the two parties in northern Latakia; it would end in the withdrawal of the jihadist rebels from the vicinity of Kinsibba.
The jihadist rebels suffered a number of casualties during this risky ambush, while also leaving behind much of their weapons that were used for this attack.
Tuesday’s attack on Kinsibba was the second attempt by the jihadist rebels to storm a garrison belonging to the Syrian Arab Army in the Jabal Al-Akrad region of Latakia.
