(AhlulBayt News Agency) - On Saturday evening, Syrian forces inflicted major losses on al-Nusra militants in west of Tarafawi village in Aleppo countryside, managing to recapture al-Waz Hill there, SANA news agency reported.
Dozens of the militants were killed and their vehicles destroyed in the clashes, the report added.
Meanwhile in Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian Arab Army, in cooperation with supporting forces, thwarted an attempt by terrorist groups to attack al-Jala’a village in the province’s eastern countryside.
A military source told SANA that army units, in cooperation with supporting forces, clashed with terrorists from Daesh (ISIS) terror organization that attacked army positions in al-Jala’a village, which is located between the towns of al-Mayadeen and al-Boukamal on the western bank of the Euphrates River.
The source said that the clashes resulted in thwarting the attack, eliminating a number of terrorists, injuring others, and destroying their weapons and ordinance.
Syria is in the final stages of a battle against Takfiri terrorist groups that poured into the Arab country after the outbreak of the civil war in 2011.
On November 19, the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group was flushed out of its last stronghold in Syria’s Al-Bukamal. The city’s liberation marked an end to the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate it had declared in 2014.
