Syria army kills 40 militants in Idlib Province
At least 40 Takfiri militants have been killed in a series of operations by Syrian army troops in the northwestern Idlib Province.
Syrian forces conducted large-scale operations throughout the province, taking full control of Tal Ghazal and Tal A’awar hilltops and the towns of al-Ziyadiya and al-Sararif in Idlib, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Thursday.
Syrian air force bombarded militant positions and destroyed a number of mortar launchers and vehicles armed with heavy machine guns in Idlib, the report said.
Meanwhile, Syrian forces killed an unknown number of militants affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in Busra al-Sham city in the southwestern province of Dara'a.
In another development, Syrian army forces destroyed a number of ISIL Takfiri hideouts and vehicles near the Air Force Academy in the northwestern Aleppo Province.
Moreover, an army unit carried out strikes against the ISIL positions on the eastern side of the Fodder Center in Rajm al-Daoula village in the southwestern Sweida Province, killing scores of militants, a military source told SANA Thursday.
Syria has been gripped by crisis since March 2011. More than 220,000 people have been killed in the chaos, according to UN report.
Over 3.8 million displaced Syrians have fled the unrest to neighboring countries, namely Jordan and Lebanon, and more than 7.2 million others have become internally displaced, according to the United Nations.
