The Fatah al-Sham group said that its military operations are aimed at occupying the Northern part of Quneitra province.

On Friday, the terrorist groups suffered heavy casualties and their military vehicles sustained major damage after their positions in the Southwestern province of Quneitra came under fire by the Syrian army.
