PROVINCES,(ST)_Units of the armed forces have discovered an arms depot in Homs, seized Israeli-made weapons outside Idlib and  eliminated dozens of foreign-backed terrorists outside Damascus and Aleppo, according to SANA.

Large number of terrorists died not only in the said areas in Aleppo province but also in southern Daraa province when the armed forces obliterated several hideouts and groupings in towns of Da’el, Nawa, Bosra al-Sham, western al-Mleha, and Inkhel. 

Terrorists of Saudi nationality

Another ringleader and several gangsters were killed in Bir al-Ajam town outside al-Quneitra in a qualitative operation of an army unit.

“Israeli-made weapons were confiscated during the confrontation with the group’s members, mostly foreign nationals,” the source clarified.

Meanwhile, it was reported that an arms dump was pounded in Qara area outside Damascus and many terrorists including al-Nusra Front- affiliates were crushed in Jobar, Harasta, Der Salman town, al-Qasemeyeh farms, al-Mleha, Hajjira, al-Dyabeyeh, al-Hseneyeh, and Yabroud area when the armed forces bombarded their hideouts there.
