(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Yesterday, Syrian and Russian fighter jets conducted dozens of airstrikes against Takfiri terrorists in the northern countryside of Hama in bid to halt the recent advance made by anti-government rebels.

According to a military source, the airstrikes destroyed numerous armored vehicles and tanks used by Takfiris in the villages and towns of Karah, Ma'an, Lawkab and Zilaqiat, as well as an ammunition depot in Kafr Zita.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Russian aircrafts conducted up to 15 airstrikes against rebel targets in the mountains overlooking Al-Lataminah village. Scores have been killed in the attacks while others remain under rubble, according to SOHR.

Meanwhile, pro-rebel social media accounts mourned the death of some 50 militants, including senior commanders.

Based on credible reports, a wide-scale military ground operation is set to be launched within the next few days to regain all territories lost recently in northern Hama.
