Syrian rebels reportedly attack Christian city in IdlibMarch 31, 2018 - 11:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Up to 5 missiles fired from rebel-held areas in northern Hama province hit the Christian city of Mahardah and its power plant, Al-Masdar News reported on Saturday, March 31. The attack left no casualties with only minor material damage reported. The rocket assault might – most probably – have spurred by vengeance for Ghouta offensive, the news agency said. In response, the Syrian army shelled – with artillery and rockets – rebel positions in the nearby villages of Latamneh, Kafr Zita, Al-Sakher and Al-Zakat; all serve as bastions for the FSA-affiliated Jaysh al-Izza rebel group. The rebel aggression on Mahardah might as well propel the Russian jets to conduct retaliatory airstrikes against the attackers. Photo.
