Militants Advance In Latakia Amid Tensions Between Syrian Army And Pro-Turkish Forces Near Al-Bab

Last night members of the so-called “Syrian opposition” launched an advance in northeastern Latakia, engaging government forces at the Rashu Hill.

Initially, militants seized the area and made attempt to develop the success, but then the army and the NDF reversed their gains.

The situation remains tense.

The escalation in northern Latakia took place amid reports about clashes between the Syrian army and pro-Turkish forces near al-Bab in the province of Aleppo.
