Militants from the Islamic Front (Jabhat Al-Islamiyya) and Al-Nusra Front (Jabhat Al-Nusra) resumed their attack on the Abu Dhuhour Airbase, as they attempted to infiltrate the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses from the western perimeter. The attack by the 2 militant groups was thwarted by the SAA and members of the National Defense Forces (NDF); this resulted in the death of at least 30 fighters from Islamist militias.
