Syrian army forces managed to establish control over several villages in the strategic northern province of Aleppo following intense clashes with Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] terrorists.

Syrian Army Recaptures Villages on al-Bab S Edge

Privately-owned and pro-government al-Ikhbariya al-Souriyah television news network reported that the Syrian forces had secured several villages, including Touman, Uwaishiyah and Hawarat Tadef, on the southern edge of the Daesh-held northern Syrian town of al-Bab, and were now clearing out the area of hundreds of mines and explosive devices the terrorists left behind.

Meanwhile, government troops, backed by the Syrian Air Force, carried out a string of operations against Daesh positions in the southern outskirts of the eastern city of Deir ez-Zour, situated about 420 kilometers northeast of the capital Damascus, killing a large number of the terrorists and destroying their military hardware.

A Syrian army unit also struck Daesh fortifications east of al-Assad Military Academy, which is also known as the Academy of Military Engineering, in Aleppo. Scores of the extremists were killed and injured in the process, and four pickup trucks equipped with heavy machineguns were destroyed.

Furthermore, Syrian army soldiers killed a number of Daesh terrorists and destroyed their vehicles in the eastern part of the western city of Homs.

The national army forces also dealt heavy blows to foreign-backed militants in al-Bayarat, al-Qaryatayn and al-Bardeh districts of Homs province, killing scores of the extremists.

Over the past almost six years, Syria has been fighting foreign-sponsored militancy. UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimated in August last year that the Syrian crisis had claimed the lives of more than 400,000 people until then.

The UN stopped its official casualty count in the war-torn country, citing its inability to verify the figures it receives from various sources.
