Syrian soldiers recapture Um al-Mayazen town in Dara’a Province

Syrian army troops have managed to regain control over yet another strategic town in the country’s Southwestern Province of Dara’a following the elimination of the last gatherings of terrorists in the area.

On Sunday, Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing an unnamed military source, reported that earlier in the day units of Syrian Arab Army, backed by the allied forces, established their full control over Um al-Mayazen town, located some 10 kilometers to the east of Dara’a, the provincial capital.

The report added that the liberation of Um al-Mayazen came after days of intense operations against terrorists’ gatherings and their fortified positions in the town, situated not far away from Nassib, another town near the Jordanian border, which was liberated on Friday.

Syrian bomb disposal units are now combing the liberated area for hidden ordnance and explosive devices, which foreign-backed terrorists have arguably planted there to slow down the advance of army forces.

Since June 19, the Syrian government has been engaged in a major military campaign to recapture the terrorist-held areas in southern Syria near the Jordanian border and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, including Dara’a Province, together with the neighboring Provinces of Quneitra and Suwaida.

The recapture of Dara'a is highly important because it borders the occupied Golan Heights which Zionist regime has used to treat wounded terrorists that are fighting the Syrian government since 2011.The territory's return to the Syrian government control would cut the much-reported collaboration between Zionist regime and the terrorists and accordingly deal a blow to Tel Aviv's plans to annex the Golan Heights.
