Al-Alam correspondent, who is currently in al-Qusayr, has sent videos of the latest operations carried out by the Syrian army to free the occupied areas.

The areas near the al-Litani river lying at the west side of the town are now under control of the army.

Most of the fighting is reported to be at the northern neighborhoods which are now completely surrounded by Syrian soldiers.

Operation continues “alley to alley and building to building” from already cleared areas in the south toward northern neighborhoods, as our reporter describes.

A military commander told our reporter that the army aims to eliminate terrorists’ access to all the main routs leading to the town especially the Homs-Ba’albak road at the northeastern side.

The fighting for al-Qusayr, which straddles strategic supply routes important for the militants, started on Sunday after the army surrounded the area and successfully entered the town.

The command center of the al-Nusra Front has been destroyed in the battle and the army has taken control over the city center and municipality building.

Syrian soldiers, backed by volunteer fighters, are moving forward in their fight against Western-backed terrorist gangs and militant groups throughout the war-torn country.

While the government struggles with the bloody insurgency, the US, Israel and their Western allies have threatened to send more arms to militants if President Bashar al-Assad does not leave.

On Wednesday, a US Senate committee voted in favor of a bill, authorizing the government to provide foreign-sponsored militants in Syria with lethal weapons and military training.
