Syrian Armed Forces Restore Tranquility to Vast Areas in Southwest

A military source said that calm has been restored to vast areas in the Southwestern province of Dara’a by the Syrian Army, stressing the army men are resolved to do their best to put a sustainable end to the ongoing bloodshed in the country.

Um Walad, Al-Karak al-Sharqi, Tloul el Khelif and the area surrounding Bilal al-Habashi mosque in the city and countryside of the province are safe now due to successful operations of the Syrian armed forces.

Syria has been grappling with a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fuelled by Takfiri groups has so far claimed the lives of over 210,000 people, according to reports. New figures show that over 76,000 people, including thousands of children, lost their lives in Syria last year.

Over 3.8 million Syrians have left their country since the beginning of the crisis. According to reports, more than seven million Syrians have become internally displaced.
