According to reports, up to 40 Syrian soldiers have been killed and 80 others wounded the attack while at least 50 terrorists have also been killed.
The source added that through using different types of weapons, including car bombs and under an intensive fire cover, terrorists were able to penetrate into some of the army’s posts in the direction of “al-Tih-Abu Hreif- al-Samaka”.
The source added that army units were re-deployed and they repelled the attack with high efficiency, and they prevented terrorists from developing it.
