Syrian Arab army fights terrorists in several areas, continues making progress in Damascus countryside
PROVINCES,(ST)_Units of the armed forces on Sunday foiled a car bomb explosion in Homs province, made progress in the “capital shield” operation and clashed with terrorists in Aleppo, Idlib and Quneitra provinces, according to the official news agency.
In details, the armed forces defused 5 explosive devices planted by terrorists inside a car near the general phosphate company in central Homs province where military operations continued against terrorist groupings in more than 14 areas.
They also eliminated armed terrorist groups trying to sneak from al-Ghasebeyeh town into al-Dwer town in Homs province and to attack the central prison in Aleppo province.
Other terrorist groups were killed as they were trying to infiltrate into towns of al-Hamedeyeh and al-Za’alaneh outside Idlib province.
On the other hand, the armed forces shelled terrorist groupings and arms-laden cars in around 15 areas in the same province and in 9 areas in Aleppo province and in Tal al-Samn in southern Daraa province as well as in eastern al-Samdaneyeh town in Quneitra province.
Concerning the ‘capital shield’ operation, it was said that the armed forces took control of an area near ‘Asia’ factory and stepped 1 kilometer forwards from the western side of al-Moaddameyeh area in western Ghouta of Damascus.
At the same time, a series of fresh crack down operations were carried out against terrorists in Hajjira town in southern Damascus countryside and in the heart of the eastern Ghouta (towns of al-Qasemeyeh, al-Delbeh and Mleha) as well as in suburbs of Jobar, al-Qabon, Zamalka and Duma, to the east of Damascus.
The accurate death toll of terrorists in today’s operations across the country was not reported, but dozens were eliminated.
Syria is in a state of war and its national army hunts down foreign-backed terrorists to restore stability and security nationwide.
The US, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia support terrorist groups operating in Syria by all means to serve Israel’s interests in the region.
