Syrian Army Beats Militants, Retake Four Villages In Latakia
KABUL: (MEP) The Syrian army has successfully liberated four villages in military operations against the Islamic State (IS) Takfiri terrorists in Latakia province of northeastern country, local sources said Tuesday.
“The National Army Forces managed to retake al-Hoor, al-Rweisat, al-Sweidia and al-Wadi al-Azraq villages on Monday.” Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.
The agency said that the terrorists have suffered heavy casualties during the operations while a number of them fled to areas near the Turkish border.
Around 50 of terrorists were killed and injured in the operations as Syrian forces discovered and dismantled explosive devices in the liberated areas.
According to source, Syrian troops later took several other areas and hills in the area.
The recapture of al-Hoor and Rewisat brings the Syrian forces closer to Kinsabba, the last militant stronghold in Latakia’s northern countryside.
