The Syrian Army backed by popular forces continued to push the militant groups back from more territories in the Northeastern part of the province of Latakia and restored security to more villages and heights in the mountainous region.
The Syrian army troops and the National Defense Forces stormed the militants' strongholds near the villages of Ein al-Ghazal and Maza'aleh and following a several-hour battle imposed full control over the villages and several strategic hills.
The militant groups left behind tens of dead or wounded members and fled the battlefield.
The Syrian Army announced on Tuesday that it dispatched a large number of fresh forces to the Northeastern heights of Latakia province near the border with Idlib province to join an imminent anti-terrorism operation.
"The Syrian Armed Forces have been transferring fresh soldiers to the Kabani front, where they are likely to launch an assault in the coming days to break the last line of defense of Jeish Al-Fatah militants in Latakia," the army said.
