In a short press release, the Turkish-backed coalition claimed that its militants killed and injuring a number of Syrian service members in the attack.

“They [NFL fighters] managed to capture a number of positions … Furthermore, several fortifications, where Assad’s forces were taking shelter, were destroyed,” the press release reads.

Syrian pro-government news outlets and activists have not commented on the NFL claims, so far. However, some local sources said that only four Syrian soldiers were injured or killed in the attack, which may have ended.

The NFL’s attack was clearly aimed at disturbing the ongoing SAA’s operations in northern Hama and southern Idlib. The army captured several towns and villages in the two regions over the last few days placing immense pressure on Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other terrorist groups.
