The warplanes further launched a heavy bombing raid on terrorists' positions in Eidoun and al-Satahiyat in Southern Hama and destroyed four large command posts of the militants.

In the meantime, the army men, backed up by artillery and missile units, engaged in tough battle with terrorists in Salim and al-Hamrat regions in Northern Homs.

Field sources reported that the army troops managed to advance against militants in Madajen Jabar, al-Alamah and Madajen Abu Sa'er West of al-Salamiyah in Southwestern Hama.

Earlier today the army and Air Force started targeting terrorists' positions and movements in Northern Homs and Southern Hama after reconciliation talks failed due to the militants' tumbling.

The terrorists, deployed in Jabal (Mount) al-Kan in Northern Homs, opened mortar fire at the villages of Qabibat and Qor al-Asi after the reconciliation talks failed.

The army then started reciprocating attacks. The army aircraft later pounded terrorist groups' movements and positions in al-Za'afaraneh, Deir Foul, Ezzeddeen, Talbiseh, al-Rastan, Ein Hossein, al-Ameriyeh and al-Qantarat regions in Northern Homs.
