A field source said that the Syrian army forces have started massive operations in the Northeastern parts of Abu Qalla dam to extend the security belt around Palmyra (Tadmur) city and drive the terrorists out of their bases.
During the operations, they killed and wounded a large number of ISIL terrorists and advanced in the region.
The source added that the Syrian soldiers have also advanced in al-Qataar heights but have not taken it back yet.
