An unidentified military source said on Thursday that the army troops and allied forces managed to restore security and stability to Aleppo’s Balouzeh village.
The source told Syria’s news agency SANA later in the day that Ein al-Jamajmeh, another village in Aleppo Province, came under the Syrian army’s control.
Army units targeted gatherings of the Takfiri Daesh terrorists and destroyed their weapons, ammunition and machine-gun equipped vehicles during operations across Aleppo.
Elsewhere in Syria, the army inflicted heavy losses on different Takfiri terror groups, including the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front and the so-called Jund al-Aqsa terror group in the provinces of Idlib, Hama and Dara’a.
Earlier this week, Syrian forces liberated the towns of Sheikh Meskin and Salma located in the provinces of Dara’a and Latakia, respectively.
The recent advances of the Syrian forces against Daesh and other terrorist groups have been expedited by the air cover provided by Russia, which began on September 30, 2015, at the request of the Damascus government.
The crisis in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has so far claimed the lives of over 260,000 people and displaced nearly half of the Arab country’s population within or out of its borders, Press TV reported.
