PanARMENIAN.Net - The Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a relentless series of airstrikes over the northern Hama countryside on Thursday, December 21, targeting the jihadist strongholds of Kafr Zita and Al-Lataminah, Al-Masdar News reports.

The Russian jets would then turn their attention to the Hama-Idlib axis, where they launched several airstrikes over the jihadist-held towns of Musharifah and Abu Dali.

According to a military source in the area, the Russian jets scored several direct hits on the jihadist positions that could be seen from the Syrian Army’s front-lines along the Hama-Idlib axis.

The Syrian Army is now preparing to launch their assault on the town of Musharifah, which is currently under the control of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham.
