Military sources in Syria have said that Syrian Army troops backed by National Defense Forces have continued to target terrorists' positions in the mountainous regions of Lattakia and have captured several key hills and villages.
The Syrian government forces' anti-terrorism operation in Northern Lattakia inflicted major losses on the militants and forced them to pull their forces back form the villages of Ein al-Qantara and the hills of Rasha, al-Oweizarat, Zohra, Abu Saeed and Ruweisat al-Kataf," the sources said.
"The terrorist groups retreated from the battlefield after they suffered a heavy death toll and their military hardware sustained major damage," they added.
Meantime on Friday, the Syrian army and the terrorist groups engaged in tough battle in Lattakia province over taking control of strategic regions.
The fierce clashes between the government forces and terrorists came as the Syrian army has started its fresh military operations in Jabal al-Akrad region and the Syrian air force pounded the terrorists' military positions in the same area; FNA reported.
