Local Editor

In a new achievement, Syrian troops have established full control over a string of villages in the country’s southwestern province of Daraa near Jordan and managed to reopen the strategic Nasib border crossing.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said that government forces had reached the Jordanian frontier in Daraa province on Thursday for the first time since 2015.

Several witnesses near the crossing said on Friday that armored vehicles and a tank with a Russian flag were seen heading towards the Nasib border crossing.

They said they spotted a convoy on a military road heading towards the crossing which the Syrian army has been advancing towards since Thursday.

Meanwhile, Syrian media say thousands of displaced people have already returned home in the areas that were liberated by the army. The military is also reported to have confiscated a huge amount of weapons and ammunition from terrorists in the newly-liberated regions of the southwestern province.

Syrian government forces have established full control over a strategic town in the country’s southwestern province of Daraa.

The recapture of Daraa is highly important because it borders the occupied Golan Heights which the apartheid “Israeli” entity has used to treat wounded militants that are fighting the Syrian government since 2011.
