Syria forces make new gains against Takfiri militants
Syria’s military forces and volunteer fighters made new gains against Takfiri militants in a key southern city on Monday.
Syria’s official news agency SANA said the Syrian forces liberated more neighborhoods of the city of Sheikh Miskin, the southern province of Dara’a.
SANA said the road linking Sheikh Miskin to Ibta’a and the road leading to Nawa in Dara’a countryside are now under the control of the Syrian forces.
Syrian military sources said the army is now in control of more than 90 percent of Sheikh Miskin.
The advance in the south came as Syrian forces continued to clear areas they have recaptured from militants elsewhere in the country.
Reports said various units of the Syrian military had finished a de-mining operation in two towns of al-Rawdhah and al-Rabi’ah along the Turkish border in Latakia Province.
Clashes also continued in the east, where Syrian forces reportedly destroyed vehicles belonging to the Daesh Takfiri terrorists in al-Bghailiye village in the western countryside of Dayr al-Zawr Province.
SANA said a number of Daesh terrorists were killed and several others were wounded in the al-Rushdiye neighborhood of Dayr al-Zawr’s provincial capital, which is called by the same name.
There has been no reference to the casualties on the Syrian forces
Since March 2011, Syria has been grappling with foreign-sponsored turmoil. Gains by the government have come at a speedier pace over the past months, especially since late September 2015, when Russia endorsed a request by Damascus to dispatch its warplanes over Syria for combat sorties against positions of Takfiri terrorists.
