Syrian Army Takes Control of Strategic Towns in Idlib Countryside

The Syrian army regained control of several towns and villages in Idlib countryside after fierce clashes with the al-Nusra Front, Syrian military sources announced on Sunday.

"The Syrian army regained control of Nahlia, Kafr Najd and al-Moqbeleh towns in Idlib countryside," an informed military source said on Sunday.

The military source noted that the main purpose of the Syrian army operations in Idlib countryside was to maintain security in Al-Qormid Qominas military base and also to liberate the strategic hill of Qominas near the military base.

On Saturday, the Syrian Army, in one of the deadliest calashes with the terrorists of Ahrar al-Sham in recent days, killed at least 12 and wounded some others in a town in the Northwestern Province of Idlib.

Taftanaz, a town in the Idlib's countryside, was the scene of bloody clashes between the Syrian soldiers and the terrorists of Ahrar al-Sham, which resulted in the killing of 12 antigovernment fighters.

Since 2011, Syria has been faced massive insurgency created by the certain Western countries and their regional allies that staged a propagandistic war against Damascus.

At the beginning of crisis, certain western powers and their regional allies voiced loudly that Syrian protests have no diplomatic solution, and then they started supplying the country's opposition groups with their arms and funds.

But in 2014, specially after victory of President Bashar al-Assad in the country's presidential election in summer, the army has gained upper hand in its anti-terrorism campaign, and has been partly successful in sealing borders with Turkey and Jordan.
