Syrian Arab army weeds out 8 terrorist leaders, regains security to three towns

PROVINCWS,(ST)_Units of armed forces rapidly advance towards the last stronghold of foreign-backed terrorists in the northern al-Qusayr countryside and eliminate more than 8 terrorist leaders and dozens of their men outside Damascus, Aleppo, Idlib, Der-Ezzour, and Lattakia provinces.

It was stressed today that the units of armed forces had imposed control over the towns of al-Masodeyeh and al-Saleheye in the northern al-Qusayr countryside. The two towns are located before the eastern al-Bweda town which is the last stronghold of terrorists there.

The terrorists fled to the eastern al-Bweda town after the Syrian Arab army had taken control of al-Dab’a town and the strategic al-Qusayr city.

An official source stated that the units of armed forces are mopping-up the aforementioned towns plus al-Hseneyeh farms and the eastern al-Dmeneh town. Several explosive devices, which were planted by terrorists there, had been dismantled and many tunnels were found.

Syria is facing a foreign-backed war that aims to weaken the Syrian Arab army and destroy its national economy to serve Israel’s interests in the region.

The US, France, Britain, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia supply the terrorist groups, who perpetrate heinous crimes against citizen and destroy Syria’s infrastructure, with arms, money and media coverage.
