Hunting Armed Groups, Syrian Army Restores Security

Syrian Army units on Monday restored security and tranquility to the city of Jisr al-Shaghour after clearing it from the armed terrorist groups that terrorized the locals, attacked public and private properties, and wrought havoc in the city.
SANA reported that the army units are pursuing some of the members of the armed groups that appear from time to time after fleeing the city and heading for the surrounding mountains, Turkish border areas.

Meanwhile, Syrian TV said that a mass grave containing the bodies of 12 security forces personnel killed by the armed terrorist groups was discovered, with more than 20 Arab and foreign mass media documenting this horrid crime and the atrocities committed by the terrorist groups.
A member of the terrorist groups who participated in this massacre confessed to mutilating the bodies of security forces personnel along with others, saying that they also raped and murdered a number of women and dumped their bodies in Orontes River.
Syrian TV said that a field hospital set up by the armed groups in the mountains was also discovered.

He pointed out that the army units were careful to preserve private and public property and houses from harm and ensure their safety, and that damage was limited to the vandalism committed by the armed groups during their time in the cities.
Earlier, Army units entered Jisr al-Shughour in Idleb after dismantling explosives and explosive charges of dynamite planted by the organized armed groups on bridges and roads, assuming control of the city.

SANA reported that fierce clashes took place between the army units and the armed members in the city, and that one army soldier was martyred and four others were wounded during these clashes.
