The Arabic-language website of Sputnik reported that Horas al-Deen targeted the army's positions in Tal Bazam and Tal al-Zahara near the town of Souran with several missiles and mortars violating the demilitarized zone agreement concluded in Russia's Sochi last month.

It further said that the army's artillery and missile unit opened heavy firer on terrorists' movements and positions in the region.

The report went on to say that positions of Horas al-Deen are near the Turkish army's monitoring posts in the town of Morek, adding that terrorists have been using the Turkish post to hide.

Horas al-Deen, in a statement, had recently rejected the Sochi Agreement on Idlib.

On Thursday, the army's artillery units targeted a group of Kata'eb al-Izza terrorists who intended to gain control of the military regions near the town of Murak in Northern Hama, killing and wounding several militants and destroying their military equipment.

The remaining terrorists fled to their positions inside Murak, field sources said.

In recent days, the terrorist groups have sent more gunmen and military equipment to contact lines with Syrian army, launching more missile attacks on government forces' positions in Hama province.
