Syria army forces make fresh advances against Takfiri terrorists
The Syrian army has made fresh advances as its forces continued to carry out wide-scale military operations against Takfiri terrorist positions across the country.
On Saturday, Syria’s official news agency, SANA, said army units had discovered a 200-meter-long tunnel between Housh al-Farah and Housh Nasri in Douma Farms area, located east of the capital, Damascus, where Daesh is active.
The tunnel was reportedly used for the transfer of weapons and the movement of the militants.
The army also said its forces had destroyed command positions of militants in the countryside of Hama and Idlib Provinces over the past 24 hours.
A command position of the so-called Ahrar al-Sham terrorist group was ruined in Hama, while the army air force also destroyed a command position of the al-Nusra Front and other Takfiri groups in an area located east of the town of Latamna.
They managed to destroy a command position in Ma’ar Kibba village, situated 40 kilometers to the north of Hama city.
The Syrian army air force also made similar gains in Homs and Deir Ezzor.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters in Syria announced that they had seized Tishreen Dam, which is considered a key dam along the Euphrates River, from Daesh terrorists in northern Syria.
The alliance’s spokesman Tala Sello said dozens of Daesh militants had also been killed in the clashes leading to the capture of the dam, which had been controlled by the terrorists since last year.
The foreign-backed militancy in Syria has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people since March 2011, according to the United Nations. It has also displaced nearly half of the country’s population.
