Syrian army soldiers, backed by allied fighters from popular defense groups, have managed to thwart an offensive by terrorists on a region in the country’s strategic southwestern province of Quneitra.
The Syrian Defense Ministry said that Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) terrorists launched an attack against the Tal Ahmar area of Quneitra, situated some 60 kilometers south of the capital, Damascus, on Saturday, prompting a fierce gun battle with Syrian soldiers and fighters from popular defense groups.
Scores of terrorists were killed and injured in the fighting, and a considerable amount of their munitions destroyed.
Israeli military aircraft later carried out a number of airstrikes against Tal Ahmar in the wake of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham’s defeat.
Meanwhile, seven Israeli ambulances carried the wounded militants away from Jubata al-Khashab Village in southern Syria to a field hospital inside the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories to treat them, Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Ahed news website reported.
