IDLEB, (ST)_The Syrian army carried out intensive strikes against al-Nusra Front terrorists in the southeastern countryside of Idleb, making fresh advances in Ma’arret al-No’aman area.

According to the Syrian News Agency (SANA), the army units advanced  today towards the towns of Deir al-Sharqi, Babolin, Abo Makki and Jerjnaz. They engaged in fierce clashes with terrorist groups at the southern sides of Jerjnaz town, which is one of the major terrorists’ strongholds in Ma’arret al-No’aman area.

 The Syrian army inflicted heavy losses on the terrorist groups and some of them fled towards the heart of Jerjnaz town and used residents as human shields and prevented them from leaving to safe areas. 

The fresh advance comes one day after the army units recaptured the strategic town of al-Tih.

Over the past three days, the Syrian army has liberated over 30 towns and villages in Maaret al-Noaman countryside to the southeast of Idleb.

Till Sunday noon, 160 terrorists linked to the al-Nusra Front and its allied groups were killed and 200 others were wounded during the clashes started with the Syrian army three days ago.

The Syrian army continues its advance covered by intensive airstrikes carried out by Syrian and Russian jets.

The rapid collapse of terrorist groups in the ongoing battle is caused by the failure of negotiations between al-Nusra Front terrorists’ ringleaders and their allies and the Turkish-backed “national army” in Idleb, according to Beirutr-based al-Mayadeen TV channel.

 In another development, Syrian air defenses intercept yesterday hostile missiles over Damascus.

One of the missiles fell on Aqraba area in Damascus countryside.

The missiles were launched from Israeli- occupied lands, according to the Syrian TV channel.

Moreover, the Syrian army downed yesterday a drone for terrorists over Jableh city in Lattakia, the Syrian Alikhbaria TV channel reported.

Syrian air defenses also intercepted hostile targets over Hama airbase, according to the Syrian Alikhbaria TV channel.
