Syria says many terrorists killed in new operations

The Syrian military says it has inflicted heavy losses on foreign-backed terrorists in a series of operations across the country.

According to Press TV, backed by helicopter gunships, government troops attacked terrorists' positions in the hilltop village of Tal Sawwan in the Western Province of Homs on Wednesday in a bid to retake the strategic al-Sha'er Mountains.

According to government sources, a large number of terrorists were killed while many others fled their positions. 

Syrian troops also destroyed a training camp for the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorist group, the al-Qaeda branch in Syria formerly known as al-Nusra Front, northwest of Kisin village in Dara'a Province.

Earlier, terrorist positions in the towns of Talbiseh, al-Rastan, Um Sharshouh and al-Ghantoo in Dara'a came under government attacks, in which an unknown number of terrorists were killed and their weapons destroyed.

Elsewhere in the al-Sad and al-Bajabjeh districts of Dara'a al-Balad region, Syrian forces killed several terrorists affiliated with the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham group.

Syrian troops also launched an offensive in the Da'el town, located approximately 14 kilometers north of Dara’a, killing a number of terrorists and destroying their vehicles.
