: The source does NOT state that the SAA recapture Al-Bashiri Farms, Ithriyah Checkpoint, and Majabel Checkpoint near the town of Ithriyah! "The Syrian Armed Forces have started their large-scale counter-assault in east Hama; however, there have been no reported gains yet (other than the recapture of the Ithriyah-Sabourah Road), as they target the Al-Bashiri Farms, Ithriyah Checkpoint, and the Majabel Checkpoint near the town of Ithriyah." So the three places are under IS and SAA only "targets" them.
