RNA - "The terrorists' moves in Southern Syria, specially Dara'a city, come within a plan masterminded and ordered by their international masters for the sake of political goals," Hassan Hassan told on Tuesday.

"The US president who presides over the highest level of his country's decision-making through the Zionist lobby accepts Israel's demands without any question and therefore, it is natural for Trump to take wide strides to materialize Israel's security," he added.

Hassan said that the terrorist groups' aggressions against Dara'a are also aimed at creating a human shield to protect Israel.

On Monday, Syrian Army troops warded off a large-scale offensive of the terrorists on government forces' positions in the Central and Western parts of Dara'a city, killing 45 militants of Al-Nusra Front (recently renamed to Fatah al-Sham Front) including several field commanders.

Al-Nusra and other groups of the newly-formed Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board) carried out a large-scale attack on government forces' positions in the districts and neighborhoods of al-Manshiyeh, Sajineh, Hamideh al-Taah and Busra square in the Central and Western parts of Dara'a city, targeting residential areas including al-Sajari neighborhood by mortar shells.

The army soldiers, in the first hours of the terrorists' attack, retreated tactically to regroup and further engaged in fierce clashes with terrorists, killing 45 terrorists and destroying five military vehicles and a tunnel.

Several commanders were amongst the killed terrorists.
