In a violation of the new ceasefire agreement, militants stationed in Greater Idlib launched in the afternoon of August 4 a barrage of Grad rockets at the key town of Slanfah in northern Lattakia.
Local sources said that at least six rockets landed in the heart of the heavily populated town. A civilian was reportedly injured as a result.

The al-Qaeda-affiliated “Wa Harid al-Muminin” operations room claimed responsibility for the attack. The operations room falsely claimed that it targeted Russian and Syrian military positions inside Slanfah.
Earlier, Wa Harid al-Muminin said that that two of its militants were killed while foiling a Russian special operation in northwestern Hama.
These provocations by the terrorist organization are likely an attempt to sabotage the new ceasefire agreement, which is already facing many other challenges.
