BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:00 A.M.) – Fighters of the pro-government Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) paramilitary group, with the help of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), have successfully repelled a large ISIS assault in eastern Hama Governorate.
According to sources, ISIS militants launched a heavy attack against the positions of the PLA at Height 594 (east of Salamiyah city) on Sunday night. The hilltop itself had been secured by Syrian forces several hours beforehand.
PLA troops, with the help of the SAA and special purpose units belonging to other pro-government paramilitaries, managed to repel the jihadist assault, inflicting what has been described as “devastating” losses on ISIS manpower.
