“The Syrian army destroyed 80 percent of al-Nusra Front’s military bases inside al-Qaboun region in their missile and aerial attacks,” a military source said, noting that tens of al-Nusra Front terrorists were killed or wounded in the army offensives.

Meantime, local sources said that the residents of Barzeh region staged a protest rally against the terrorists and raised the Syrian national flags to show support for the government, urging the terrorists to immediately leave their region.

In a relevant development on Tuesday, the Syrian army troops seized a missile depot of the al-Nusra Front during their advances in recently captured territories North-East of the capital.

A large depot of al-Nusra’s missile was discovered in the army soldiers’ cleansing operation in al-Qaboun farms.

Meantime, field sources reported that sporadic clashes are underway between the army men and Al-Nusra terrorists near al-Qaboun.

The sources said that the Syrian Air Force has carried out several combat flights over the Al-Nusra positions in al-Qaboun, Arbin, Harasta and Hawsh al-Ashari.

The Arabic language al-Watan daily reported earlier on Tuesday that the army soldiers continued to advance against terrorists in the districts of al-Qaboun, Tishrin and Barzeh, laying siege on the al-Nusra terrorists that are trapped in al-Qaboun.

Al-Watan added that the army completed the siege of al-Qaboun after winning control over the driving school, the entire region of al-Hankarat and a part of al-Mohaba sports stadium.
