Alwaght-The Syrian Army has continued to make major gains in counter-terrorism operations in several provinces across the country, establishing control over key areas in Aleppo and Lattakia provinces.
According to the official Syrian news agency SANA, the army established control over Khan Touman town and Qarassi village in the southern countryside of Aleppo province.
“During the past few hours, army units carried out special and swift operations, establishing full control over Qarassi village and the surrounding warehouses,” a military source told SANA on Sunday.
Later on the day, the source added, the army units and supporting forces established control over Khan Touman town and the surrounding farms, with the area considered one of the largest gatherings of Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists.
The terrorists in the abovementioned areas suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment and the army units dismantled the explosive devices and mines planted there.
In Aleppo city, the army destroyed hideouts for Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists in the neighborhoods of Bani Zaid, al-Ramousa, al-Lairamoun and Karm al-Trab. In the eastern countryside of Aleppo, army units hit sites and movements of ISIS terrorists in al-Shawaia Hill and in Bijan and Rasm al-Sahrij villages.
In Lattakia Syrian forces, in cooperation with popular defense groups, established control over al-Kabeer village and the three strategic in the area between al-Kouz and al-Aswad al-Kabir mountains in the northern countryside of the province.
A military source said that this took place following violent clashes with terrorists, scores of which were killed in the process, adding that the army’s engineering units combed the village and the areas and dismantled dozens of explosive devices that terrorists had planted.
Elsewhere in Homs Syrian destroyed hideouts and concentrations of ISIS terrorists west of al-Tarr mountain and in al-Zakara valley in Palmyra’s western countryside in the province.
In Hama and Idleb Syrian forces directed concentrated strikes at a hideout for terrorists from “Jund al-Aqsa” terrorist organization in Atshan village in the far northern countryside of Hama province, sources on the ground told SANA.
The sources said the operation resulted in destroying the hideout completely and in the death of terrorists Mukhtar al-Rajo, Zafer al-Ashqar, and Ammar al-Abdo.
In Idleb province, at least two terrorists were killed when an IED went off inside a vehicle transporting a terrorist group in Jisr al-Shughour south of Idleb city. The two dead terrorists were identified as Ezeddin al-Shaghel and Mohammad al-Qashash from “Ahrar al-Cham Islamic Movement” terrorist organization.
The foreign-sponsored terrorists in Syria started their vicious campaign in the country in March 2011. The terrorists have killed more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured.
Syria blames the crisis on some countries, including Turkey and Saudi Arabia, saying that if it had not been for their support, the terror groups, particularly the ISIS Takfiri terrorist group, could have never taken control of the territories across the country.
The UN says 12.2 million people, including more than 5.6 million children, remain in need of humanitarian assistance. The foreign-sponsored militancy has also displaced nearly half of the country's population.
