Dara'a

The Syrian army continued military operations in Dara'a province, advancing towards the bordering areas with Jordan after winning back control of several new regions.

The army forces, backed by artillery and missile units, engaged in clashes with the terrorists in Eastern Dara'a, seizing control of a region in which the air defense brigade was stationed in the Southern parts of the town of Saida.

Meantime, the army soldiers clashed with the militants in al-Tafas region in Western Dara'a, killing a number of terrorists.

Also, the Syrian army's artillery and missile units pounded the terrorists' positions in Tafs and the town of al-Ya'adoudeh in Western Dara'a.

The Syrian army is now moving towards al-Nasib border crossing.

The Syrian army troops continued to advance in Western Dara'a towards the borders with Jordan after new peace talks between a Syrian-Russian delegation and militant commanders failed again.

Commanders of the terrorist groups left the new round of reconciliation talks with the Russian-Syrian delegation and kept gunmen on alert.

In the meantime, the army men, backed up by artillery units, stormed terrorists' positions in the town of Tafas in Western Dara'a and captured several strategic regions.

Also, other artillery and missile units opened heavy fire at terrorists' movements and positions near the Old Customs area and the town of al-Na'eimeh and its nearby regions, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.

The army is tightening siege on the terrorists from the direction of al-Tabelin road East of Tafas, and from Tal al-Saman in the North.

Local sources, meantime, reported that the army has cut off the main supply line of the terrorists connecting Western and Eastern Dara'a.

Hasaka

A new convoy of weapons and military equipment was sent by the US to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Hasaka of Syria near the borders with Iraq.

The Arabic-language Smart News website affiliated to the militants in Syria reported on Thursday that a new US military convoy was sent to the SDF in Northeastern Hasaka through Simalka passageway at the Iraqi borders with Syria.

It added that the convoy consisted of 100 trucks which carried military and armored vehicles and concrete blocks as well as oil tankers with kerosene cargos.

The US army had also dispatched military equipment to the Kurdish militias in Hasaka late last month, a media outlet reported as Washington continued all-out support for the group in Northeastern Syria.

According to Fars News Agancy, the Arabic-language al-Watan daily quoted local sources as saying that the US-led coalition forwarded several personnel carriers and armored vehicles from Iraq to the Kurdish units stationed in Northeastern Hasaka via the Simalka border-crossing.

Analysts say the US intends to disintegrate Syria by means of the Kurdish militias deployed in the Northern and Northeastern parts of the country.

Lattakia

Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) is preparing its members to launch a massive offensive against the Syrian army positions in Northern Lattakia to support their comrades in Dara'a province.

Military sources reported on Thursday that the Syrian army has put on alert a large number of its forces in Northern Lattakia and strengthened its positions in the region.

They added that the moves made by Jeish al-Nokhbah terrorists, the special forces of Tahrir al-Sham, in Jabal al-Akrad and Jabal al-Turkmen in Lattakia are monitored by the army, noting that the militants seek to start a heavy attack on army positions in Northern Lattakia.

According to the sources, the terrorists intend to launch the offensive to help remove the concentration of the Syrian army operation against their comrades in Dara'a in Southern Syria.
