Syrian Army Attacks Terrorists’ Last Stronghold in Sweida (+Video)


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Syrian Army continued its military operation against terrorists in the southern region of Sweida.

On Friday, Syrian government forces resumed their offensive against terrorist groups occupying the strategic heights in Tulul al-Safa, a southern region in the desert of Sweida.

This came after a short pause made to work out new military tactics, give some rest to the troops, and supply reinforcement and ammunition, Sputnik reported.

The Syrian Army advanced hundreds of meters on Friday, wiping out tens of Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorists — mainly those shooting from caves and crevices in the mountainous area.

The army's goal now is to root out armed groups in the area before winter, which is expected to bring rainfalls that will save the besieged militants from dehydration. The Syrian military has already cut off supplies of fresh water to militants.
