The sources said that with the Russians leading the operations from the command room, the Syrian army’s Special Forces and the civilian-led “National Defense Forces” (NDF) have benefitted immensely from their guidance.

In fact, this logistical assistance from their Russian military advisors has propelled the Syrian forces to advance along the Southwestern axis of the Kuweires airbase, resulting in the recent capture of Al-Salihiyah after fierce firefights with the terrorist group.

The Russians have also deployed a number of reconnaissance drones inside the Deir Hafer Plains to capture footage of the terrorist group’s movements along the Kuweires airbase’s frontlines.

Earlier this month, military sources said that the Syrian army troops started joint massive operations to push back the ISIL terrorists from the nearby areas of Kuweires airbase in the Southern territories of the Aleppo province.

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian air force destroyed the military positions of the Takfiri terrorists in the Central province of Hama.

The Syrian warplanes hit the hideouts of the Al-Nusra Front terrorist group near al-Salamyeh in Hama province, killing and inuring tens of them and destroying their weaponry and vehicles.

The air force also targeted terrorists’ concentrations in Aqerbat, Jana al-Albawi, al-Rahjan, Umm Mayal, al-Zyara, al-Mansoura and al-Zakat in Eastern and Northwestern countryside of Hama, killing a number of Al-Nusra terrorists and destroying their weapons and ammunition.

Also in the past 24 hours, the Syrian army backed by the popular forces killed nearly a dozen Takfiri terrorists in a successful ambush in the Northern parts of Sweida.

The Syrian forces killed, at least, 10 Al-Nusra Front terrorists who were trying to seize parts of the village of Lahe’e in Northern Sweida.

The army also held 5 other Al-Nusra Front terrorists captive in Sweida.

The Takfiri terrorists had reportedly penetrated into Sweida from the neighboring Daraa province, but they were pushed back.

Elsewhere, the Kurdish popular forces pushed the ISIL Takfiri terrorists back from their positions near the city of Hasaka.

The ISIL terrorists killed at least 20 ISIL terrorists in the Eastern parts of Hasaka city near the village of Tal al-Saman.

Battlefield dispatches said the Takfiri terrorists had to retreat from their positions after sustaining heavy losses.

The ISIL terrorists have started sporadic attacks on the Kurdish forces after they were forced out of the city.

The Kurdish forces’ operations came as they have gained full control over the town of Ain Issa in Raqqa province.

Meantime, the Syrian warplanes bombed positions of the Takfiri militants in the Central Province of Homs, leaving a group of them dead.

The air raids targeted ISIL positions and movement axes on Palmyra-al-Sukhneh road in the countryside of Homs, and killed a group of the terrorists and destroyed a number of their booby-trapped vehicles.

The Syrian army also clashed with terrorists who infiltrated into the vicinity of the military posts South of Tal-Dao city, killing and injuring all the members of the terrorist group.

The fall of a strategic village in the province of Quneitra, Southern Syria that was controlled by the terrorists forced Israel’s direct intervention to compensate for the loss.

The Israeli attack came after the Syrian army and the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance forces took control of a strategic village in Quneitra on Sunday.

The army and resistance forces launched heavy attacks on terrorists’ positions in Taranja region of Quneitra and after several hours of clashes won control over Taranja region.

Taranja was of highly strategic importance for the terrorists because of its vicinity to the Israeli border.

The Israeli fighter jets severely hit the Mahyress artillery battalion of the Syrian army just hours after the army and Hezbollah forces took control of Taranja.

Also, the Syrian government forces on Monday eradicated a terrorist group in Daraa province.

The army killed and injured all members of a terrorist group in the Eastern countryside of Daraa, informed sources said.
