Syrian Army Takes Control of Rankous
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Syrian army took control of Rankous in Al-Qalamoun on Wednesday.
The army soldiers were pursuing terrorists who fled the area to surrounding mountains.
Meanwhile, army units were working on deactivating explosives planted by armed groups, Al-Manar reported.
The Syrian army started on Tuesday an intensive campaign against the terrorist groups in the town of Rankous, as military units controlled al-Eskan neighborhood and Radar Hill as well as other vantage points overlooking Rankous.
Rankous is one of the last bastions of terrorists who fled Yabroud after the Syrian army liberated it last month.
