Syrian army troops deal major blows to Takfiri terrorists

Syrian government forces have carried out a string of military operations against foreign-backed militants across the conflict-ridden Arab country, inflicting heavy losses on them.

On Tuesday, Syrian army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied Popular Defense groups, raided two militant hideouts in the Dara’a al-Balad district of the southwestern city of Dara’a, located about 90 km south of the capital, Damascus, killing and injuring an unspecified number of Takfiri terrorists in the process, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.

Syrian army soldiers also engaged foreign-backed militants in the villages of Khan Tuman and Kafr Hamrah and in the town of Haritan in the northwestern province of Aleppo.

The developments came a day after Syrian troopers killed more than 30 terrorists and destroyed a battle tank, five sport utility vehicles and a car rigged with explosives in the town of Dayr Hafir, situated 50 km east of Aleppo.

Additionally, Syrian fighter jets struck militant positions in the west-central city of Hama, located 213 km north of Damascus, on Monday, killing at least 50 terrorists.

Also on Monday, Syrian army units managed to establish control over the Mazrah Hills in the northern suburb of Hama.

Moreover, Syrian military aircraft pounded terrorists positions in the towns of Nasiriyah, Soran and Latamenah in Aleppo Province, destroying their ammunition and several tanks. Syrian soldiers thwarted a militant offensive against the al-Ameriyah district in the province as well.
