Moments ago in the Hama Governorate’s southeastern countryside, the Syrian Arab Army’s 67th Brigade of the 11th Tank Division – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of al-Salamiyah – imposed full control over 3 villages in rural Damascus after a violent battle with Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat al-Nusra”, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and Harakat Ahrar al-Sham.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Armed Forces captured the villages of Zour al-Siwas, al-Qantara (not the province),and al-Karmish near the strategic town of al-Salamiyah in southeastern Hama.
