PROVINCES,(ST)_An Israeli-made rocket was among the weapons confiscated in a suburb north of Damascus countryside during the crackdown operations  there.

A military source said that a unit of armed forces seized today the Israeli-made lao- rocket plus a big number of mortars and booby-traps inside an arms dump of the terrorists in al-Qabon suburb, just 3km to the north-east of Damascus.

It added that the armed forces also destroyed terrorists’ vehicles in Der al-Adas area outside the capital and eliminated an armed terrorist group from al-Nusra Front in Adra area.

Other terrorists, including two ringleaders, reportedly perished in the operations launched against their hideouts in  eastern Ghouta and southern Damascus countryside.

The defeated terrorists perpetrated today a new crime against  innocent citizens in al-Midan quarter in the capital when they detonated an explosive device attached to a car near al-Mansour Mosque.

At least a citizen was martyred and three other children (aged 12-13) wounded in the explosion.

Operations on all fronts 

The latter development coincided with the  armed forces continuing operations in Aleppo, Homs, Daraa, Der Ezzor, and Idlib provinces.

Military sources confirmed that a big number of terrorists were eliminated, a bomb-making factory was confiscated (in Daraa’s al-Nasereyeh town), two anti-aircraft missiles were destroyed and several hideouts were obliterated in the operations .

In addition, the armed forces warded off a terrorist groups’ attack on  Aleppo central prison and pulverized  dozens of the groups’ members.

Syria is at a state of war as its army combats foreign-backed terrorists to restore stability and security to the country.
