Re: Bashar al-Assad, Syria and the Armenian people
This is good information, thanks.
As you said, the border crossing (and all the unofficial crossings) are more important than the actual town. In this case, I see a future SAA offensive focusing on retaking the high grounds and the crossings before the town. Jihadists probably won't stay in the town if their supply lines are cut similar to how they fled in Yabroud when they became cornered.

Remember the cannibal rebel that ate a dead soldier's liver? He's also in Kessab.

Except that the standard Syrian Army offensive battle plan seems to always involve the slow and complete destruction of the location being attacked. And is the border crossing that important for an attack on Latakia? When I used it, data on yearly numbers using it were on display and it was tiny, under 4000 crossings a year. Unless its very obscurity is the reason for its capture: things could be sent from Turkey easier than via the better known routes. In which case the priority should be the regaining of control of the border crossing, not the recapture of Kessab.
