"After carefully observing movements and positions of the terrorists, their weaponry and equipment, our valiant armed forces struck their command posts, fortifications and numerous ammunition depots," the SANA news agency quoted the country’s defense ministry as saying in a statement. "As a result, 111 militants have been killed and over 80 injured."
The operation came as a response to the adversary’s numerous attempts to seize the fortifications of the Syrian armed forces between the towns of El Malaja and Khazarin. These attacks left an unspecified number of Syrian servicemen dead.
Members of the Ansar al-Tawhid extremist group, affiliated with the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group have noticeably intensified their military activities in 2023. Armed groups of militants are staging regular attacks on settlements in the Al-Ghab Plain in northwestern Syria, which are under the protection of the Syrian armed forces. Their shelling attacks have left at least 83 civilians dead, including 29 children and 11 women.
