The Syrian army and its allies seized full control over the Southern parts of Eastern Ghouta in Damascus province after several months of clashes with Takfiri terrorist groups.

Deir Ezzur

The Syrian government forces' anti-terrorism operation near al-Tharda mountain ended in the killing of at least 32 ISIL terrorists and inflicted major damage on their military equipment too.

The Syrian army also repelled offensives of the ISIL on the government forces' positions from Haweija al-Saker to penetrate into al-Sina'ah district, which claimed the lives of scores of terrorists.

In relevant developments in the Eastern province on Sunday, the ISIL strongholds near the strategic Deir Ezzur airbase and Southwestern countryside of the city came under massive bombardments of the Syrian army's aircraft, in which not only scores of the ISIL terrorists were killed or wounded but the group's armored vehicles were destroyed in large scale.

Aleppo

"The Syrian government forces gathered their fighters near Tal Arabaeen and Tal Zazin and launched large-scale attacks on positions of Jeish al-Fatah near al-Eis and Kahn Touman, which claimed the lives of tens of the terrorists and forced them to pull the remaining pockets of their forces from the battlefield," the sources said.

"Jeish al-Fatah further retreated towards hills in the region," the sources said, adding, "The Syrian fighter jets, for their part, bombed heavily the concentration centers of Jeish al-Fatahin al-Zarbeh, al-Eis, Khan Touman, al-Khalediyeh and Aleppo-Damascus highway."

"The recent operations of the Syrian armed forces South of Aleppo decreased significantly the military and logistic abilities of Jeish al-Fatah in the region. The army also gained control over several small towns in Southern Aleppo," the sources said.

Earlier this month, the Syrian Army troops and the country's military aircraft struck the terrorist groups' bases and positions in the Southern and Northern territories of Aleppo province, slowing down the militants' movements across the battlefield.

The Syrian fighter jets carried out several combat flights over the territories under the control of the terrorists and targeted their gatherings heavily near Handarat camp, road of Castillo and al-Canadi hospital, which claimed the lives of tens of the militants.

The Syrian army and its popular allies, meantime, stormed the terrorist groups' strongholds near Khan Touman in the Southern part of the province, which destroyed the militants' military hardware in large scale.

The Syrian government forces also engaged in sporadic clashes with the militant groups near al-Tamoureh in the Northern territories of Aleppo province, inflicting major losses of them. 

Hama

Assaults of the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front near the small town of al-Zara were fended off by the Syrian soldiers and their allies.

At least 25 members of the Takfiri terrorist groups were killed and many more were wounded in the unsuccessful attacks.

Al-Nusra left behind the dead members and fled the battlefield towards the villages in the Southern part of Hama border Homs province.

In relevant developments in the province on Sunday, the Syrian Army' artillery units opened heavy fire at a military column of the terrorist group of Ahrar al-Sham on a road connecting the Northern part of Homs to the Southern part of Hama, cutting off militants' supply route.

The road, connecting Keisin in Homs to Hirbnafsa in Hama, came under the heavy shelling of the Syrian artillery.

Tens of the members of Ahrar al-Sham were killed or wounded in the shelling and the road became unsafe for transfer of fresh terrorists to the Southern battlefield of Hama province.

Homs

"The Syrian government forces carried out a fresh round of anti-ISIL operations near Mistadura gas field in the Northwestern side of the village of Arak," the sources said, adding, "The army resolved to push the ISIL back from the gas fields whose products have been sold in black market by the Takfiri terrorists."

"The Syrian and Russian Air Forces, in several joint combat flights, targeted the ISIL strongholds in Mistadura gas field before the ground forces' offensive to weaken the defense abilities of the terrorists as much as possible," they went on to say.

In relevant developments in the Central province on Sunday, the Syrian military forces and popular fighters stormed the ISIL strongholds near the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur) and forced the militants to retreat from at least three key heights in the region.

The Syrian government forces' anti-terrorism operation near Palmyra ended in the recapture of the heights of al-Hari citadel, 619 and 711 in al-Mazar mountain.

At least 18 members of the ISIL were killed and several more were wounded in the attacks; FNA reported.
