The Syrian army forces have made fresh gains in the war on Al-Nusra Front terrorists in Southwestern Damascus after an intensified onslaught on their stronghold.
On Tuesday, the army men, backed up by the army’s artillery and missile units, raided the defense lines of the Al-Nusra Front terrorists in Southwestern Damascus and won full control over Modavar hills South of Bardaya Mountains and Eastern Tal (hill) al-Maqtoul Southwest of Bardaya.
Syrian military sources confirmed earlier today that the army troops intensified attacks on the positions of the Al-Nusra Front in Southwestern Damascus, killing tens of terrorists.
The sources further said that the army’s artillery units opened heavy fire at the movements of a group of Al-Nusra terrorists near the village of al-Mughur al-Mir, killing and wounding the entire members of the 17-member group and destroying their arms and ammunition.
Separately, the artillery units, meantime, pounded the Al-Nusra strongholds in al-Mughur al-Mir and Beit Jinn Farm, inflicting major losses on the terrorists, the sources added.
The army’s heavy assaults have inflicted major defeats on the Al-Nusra that is on verge on full collapse in Southwestern Damascus. A large number of terrorists have escaped from Zahr al-Aswad hill and al-Ziyat region towards al-Mughur al-Mir following the intensified offensive.
Al-Nusra Front is the official Al-Qaeda branch in Syria.
