Sweida

The Syrian army imposed control over several strategic regions during cleansing operations against the ISIL in Eastern Badiyeh of Sweida after tightening noose on the terrorists in Toloul al-Safa region.

The Syrian army units attacked the ISIL terrorists' stronghold in Toloul al-Safa in Eastern Badiyeh of Sweida from several fronts on Thursday, advancing in the heights of the region.

Meantime, a field source referred to the Syrian army's extensive advance, saying that they smashed a military vehicle of terrorists by advancing in the Northern front of Toloul al-Safa, killing over 10 terrorists, including their snipers.

A field source said that the Syrian army has advanced 3.5km in the depth of the rocky regions, adding that clashes still continue between the army forces and terrorists.

Once the army gains back full control over the high rocky regions of Toloul al-Safa, the ISIL's strong defense lines will be broken and their supply lines will be cut, resulting in the Syrian army forces' military control over the region.

Hama

The Syrian army launched heavy offensives on several positions of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) and Turkistani terrorists in Northern and Western Hama in line with preparations for massive military operations in Idlib.

The Arabic-language website of SANA news agency reported on Thursday that the army's artillery units targeted a group of Tahrir al-Sham terrorists who were digging tunnels and setting up trenches West of the village of Tal Wasit in Northern Hama, destroying three of their positions and killing and wounding several militants.

Meantime, the Syrian army forces engaged in clashes with Turkistani terrorists near the town of al-Hawiz in Sahl al-Qab region in Western Hama who were planting bombs in abandoned houses and farms, inflicting tolls and damages on the militants and forcing others to flee.

Aleppo
