Seven more Nusra fighters were killed in the army attack on their position in the surroundings of the small town of Jarjnaz in the Eastern side of Maarat al-Nu'aman.

On Sunday, the Syrian army troops and their popular allies have continued to press on the militant groups deployed in the Northeastern parts of Lattakia and the Southern parts of Idlib provinces.

"The Terrorist groups in Northeastern Lattakia have retreated from village-to-village as the Syrian government forces continued their wide-scale advance to the Turkish and Idlib province borders," the sources said.

"The Syrian army, the National Defense Forces (NDF), the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the Syrian Marines, and the 48th Special Forces Regiment have stormed the militant groups' defense line at two different fronts that ultimately lead to Jisr al Shughour," the sources added.

"The army continued to pound l-Nusra Front’s lines of defense at the strategic mountaintop town of Kabani in Jabal al-Akrad, while the 48th Special Forces Regiment and their allies attacked the terrorist group along the Aleppo-Lattakia Highway (M-4 Highway)," they said; FNA reported.
