Meanwhile, units of the Syrian Army inflicted heavy losses on foreign-backed terrorists across the country.
A unit of the army chased an armed terror group on the outskirts of Damascus on Friday, the official SANA news agency reported.
Some members of the group, which was blocking roads and attacking citizens, were killed by Syrian soldiers.
Syrian troops also killed a number of terrorist and several of their leaders in the Khan al-Asal area in the countryside outside Aleppo.
On Thursday, the so-called Friends of Syria group held talks with the Syrian opposition in Rome and pledged to provide more material support to the terrorists operating in the country.
The Syria crisis began in March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed.
The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the terrorists are foreign nationals.
In an interview recently broadcast on German television, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that the government did not start the conflict and the terrorist groups were the ones killing Syrian citizens and destroying the country’s infrastructure.
