Heavy battles rage north and northwest of Hama
Govt forces (Syrian Arab Army/SAA) alleged success in their counteroffensive was semi-negated by new reports of HTS recaptures in the north of Hama at Suran region.
Heavy fighting is now along the Muhradah-As Suqaylabiyah highway, with HTS forces already taking Shaykh Hadid, Jubbayn and Tal Meleh under their control. SAA counter attack at Tal Meleh is noted.
In the northwestern regions of Hama, HTS seemed to continue to capture more grounds uncontested, adding towns like Madba'ah and Fan Shamaly into their control.
