Syrian Arab army strikes terrorists’ hideouts in more than 22 areas

PROVINCES,(ST)_Units of the armed forces have clashed with foreign-backed terrorist groups in several restive areas outside Damascus, Aleppo and Homs provinces and continued launching swift strikes against them .

In details, the Syrian TV Channel reported today that  clashes raged in the areas of Jobar, al-Qabon, Barzeh,and  Harasta, to the north-east of the capital [Damascus], and Maaret Arteq and Khan Toman town in Aleppo countryside, as well as in Bab Hod quarter in Homs province.

Strikes

 Swift strikes were unleashed against terrorist groupings and hideouts in Duma, Farms of Der Salman and al-Qasemeyeh (in eastern Ghouta), al-Nabk , Yabroud, and Rankos areas in northern and eastern Damascus countryside, and in the surroundings of Aleppo central prison and al-Kindi Hospital as well as in towns of Mayer, Handarat, Babis, Azzan, al-Layramon, al-Zerbeh, Tal Haddin, and Kafr Hamra outside Aleppo province.

Other strikes were launched in al-Qosor and al-Qarabis quarters and in towns of al-Khaledeyeh, al-Dar al-Kabera, al-Ghajar which is affiliated to al-Rastan city as well as in al-Dwer town in Homs province.

The clashes and strikes reportedly left an unknown number of dead  terrorists plus heavy losses in weapons and munitions.

The so-called ‘Sharia Court’ of al-Nusra Front-affiliates in al-Saqqi Street in al-Nabk area, around 80km to the north east of Damascus, was obliterated in a swift strike. 

On the other hand, the Beirut-based al-Mayadeen T.V. Channel said that more than 40 gunmen from the so-called ‘Free Army’, in al-Metras town outside Tartous province, surrendered themselves to the Syrian army.

Hassaka explosion 

In a separate incident, the official news agency reported that terrorists exploded a motorcycle bomb -by remote control – parking near 8 March bakery in Tal Hajar quarter in the center of al-Hassaka province, killing a woman and leaving 10 others wounded.

Other two citizens were martyred and several others wounded when terrorists targeted a school in Nobbol city in Aleppo countryside, according to media reports.

The foreign-backed terrorists, mostly from the blacklisted al-Nusra Front, daily perpetrate heinous crimes against citizens and attack the  infrastructure of the country.

Terrorists are supported by the US, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey.

Note: We use the term ‘martyrdom’ to refer to citizens who are killed in terrorist attacks because they scarified something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of noble principles (for example: Homeland defense and rejection of terrorism..etc).
