In the north, in a front that includes the provinces of Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, Hama, Homs, Idleb and Latakia, the attacks in cooperation with aviation focused on 38 locations of these groups, the biggest ones, and that have prevented them to act together.
According to information, the casualties among the terrorists are more than forty, in addition to the destruction of at least eight headquarters, supply centers and those devoted to shelter those armed, whose supply routes are reduced, especially in Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Idleb and Deir Ezzor.
Towards the northern province of Lattakia, about 350 kilometers north of Damascus, Army units receive the cooperation of the People's Defense and Aviation in the attacks to 12 villages and towns, where the Al-Nusra Front has seen its operations reduced to less than a 10 percent of the region.
In the south, in Daraa, there was a combat, the areas of Naziham and Baleh Yadudash were recovered, while in Quneitra an attempt of infiltration of Al-Nusra Front groups was neutralized.
The offensive, intensified in recent weeks, is held in a geographic arc that from the south part of the country comprehends the entire border in the northeast and north with Turkey, having the objective of cutting all the possible ways of logistical support to terrorist groups.
Similarly, it has allowed, according to official data, the effective isolation of terrorists in the central provinces of Hama, Homs and Idleb and the creation of contact points in these regions to continue the offensive, both by land and air.
In addition, information specified that Russian aviation in coordination with the Syrian Armed Forces conducted to this day over 1,000 attacks against 484 terrorist targets, particularly of the Islamic Army in the northern region of Deir Ezzor.
Confirmed reports indicate that when losing the initiative in northwestern Syria, ISIL seeks to maintain their attacks in the region of Deir Ezzor, on the border with Turkey and a strategic point for the smuggling of stolen oil and logistical support from outside.
