THREAD: #SAA will soon launch #IdlibDawn operation to eliminate militants' presence in #Idlib, #Latakia, #Hama & W #Aleppo CS w/in green area (6,222 km^2).

Map shows vital targets, strategic mountain ranges & locations of #TAF/ #TSK military “observation” posts. #Syria 1️⃣

2️⃣ During FIRST stages of #IdlibDawn OP, #SAA will probably focus on 3 main axes:

1st: NW/W #Aleppo CS
2nd: N #Hama CS
3rd: NE #Latakia CS

#TAF presence will be seriously taken into account (as long as its existence); expecting certain pressure/isolation of #TSK posts.

3️⃣ FIRST AXIS; NW/W #Aleppo CS

Possible #SAA movements to secure #Anadan Plain & W Aleppo suburbs, forcing militants (#NLF) retreat towards Jabal Sem’an.

PS: The #TAF/ #TSK’s “Anadan” post is hereby bypassed from eastern axes. #Syria #IdlibDawn

4️⃣ 2ND AXIS; N #Hama CS

Possible #SAA movements to eliminate #JAI dominated northern Hama salient, bypassing #Morek city & #TSK/ #TAF’s “Morek” post from their southwestern axis. #Syria

5️⃣ 3RD AXIS; NE #Latakia CS

Possible #SAA movements to entirely secure “Jabal Turkman” & “Jabal Akrad” mountain ranges from #HTS/ #TIP, isolating #TSK’s “Zaytunah” post & bypassing #TAF “Ishtabraq” post from western axis. #Syria

6️⃣ On occasion of #SAA’s high concentration of strikes on villages between 3 #TSK posts in SW #Aleppo CS (), another potential OP to secure rest of #HTS-dominated #Qinnasrin plain, aiming at (Jabal) Al-‘Eis, TSK Al-‘Eis post & ICARDA fortress. #IdlibDawn
