According to Amnesty Law No. 15 for 2016, the cases of over 160 militants in al-Rastan, Talbiseh, Tal Kalakh and a number of villages in Northern territories of the province were processed.

Last week, Syrian Army soldiers and popular forces launched fresh large-scale offensives to take back the key town of Talbiseh in Northern Homs.

"Syrian government forces struck at the first defense line of the terrorists in Ayoun al-Hossein.

The Syrian Air Force and artillery units for their part targeted terrorists' centers in Ayoun al-Hossein," the sources said.
