Lattakia, SANA – A unit of the Syrian Arab Army thwarted an attack by Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group on one of the military points in the northern countryside of Lattakia and eliminated all its members.

“An army unit on Saturday clashed with a terrorist group in Tel Haddada, east of Kensaba village in northern Lattakia, while trying to attack one of the military points in the area,” a military source told SANA.
