The notorious Saudi terrorist, Abdullah Al-Atvi, and 29 other Saudi nationals who were trying to cross the border into Syria have been arrested on Saturday.

Also in the past 24 hours, the Syrian Army units carried out several successful operations against terrorist groups in different regions, killing and wounding scores of terrorists and destroying their weapons and ammunition.

Units of the armed forces regained complete control over the area surrounding al-Tim oil well, eliminating terrorists’ hideouts and gatherings in the groves of al-Mari’aeh village in Deir Ezzur countryside.

A source was quoted as saying that units of the armed forces clashed with terrorists in the surrounding al-Tim oil well, asserting that the clashes resulted in regaining complete control over the well after eliminating the terrorists’ last hideouts and gatherings, and destroying their weapons, vehicles and ammunition.

The source added that an army unit destroyed terrorists’ hideouts and two cars equipped with a mortar and an anti-aircraft machineguns in the groves of al-Mari’ayeh village, killing scores of terrorists, among them Mohammad Matar al-Rawi and Hamad Abdel-Fattah al-Hussein al-Jalil.

Meantime, Head of Syria’s Al-Watan Party Majd Al-Nayazi announced that the main spectrum of the Syrian opposition who are inside the country plans to hold a conference, a move which shows the wide rift between the opposition at home and those residing abroad who were in Geneva just last week for talks with the Damascus government.

Al-Nayazi pointed to the lack of achievement by the Geneva II conference, and said, “The Syrian opposition are preparing the grounds to hold Damascus I conference where all opposition parties, except the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) and also some foreign-based opposition, will be present.”

He reiterated that the opposition groups who attended the Geneva II represented only a small part of the opposition and the main opposition groups have been sidelined at the US order.

Elsewhere, a military source said that terrorist groups’ hideouts were destroyed in the surrounding Aleppo central prison, near Rasem al-Abboud village and Hilan, with all the weapons and ammunition inside them.

The source added that army units killed and wounded a number of terrorists in the villages of azan, Hadadin, al-Wdaihi, Erbid, al-Jadideh, Kwairis and Sheikh Najjar, destroying cars loaded with weapons and ammunition.

In Aleppo city, army unit destroyed terrorists hideout of the so-called the religious courts in al-Mashhad neighborhood, killing all terrorists inside it.

All members of an armed terrorist group were eliminated in al-Shaar, al-Ansari, al-Marjeh, Bustan al-Qaser, Bani Zaid, Karm al-Jazmati, Karm Maisar and Qadi askar neighborhoods in Aleppo.

“It is for the same reason that the armed clashes still continue in Syria,” he added.

That is for the same reason that the Damascus I conference will be held and will be participated by all those who want peace in Syria, Al-Nayazi reiterated.

Also, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said international efforts and cooperation should be unified for solving the crisis in Syria.

“The crisis in Syria caused the emergence of terrorism,” Lavrov added in his speech at the Security Conference held in Munich on Saturday, calling for expanding the opposition delegation in the upcoming round of the talks.

Meantime, the Syrian army regained control over several strategic areas in Deir Ezzur in the Eastern parts of the Muslim country.

The army units took control of Al-Mariayeh, international highway and the surrounding areas of Haqal Al-Amr in Deir Ezzur on Saturday.

The Syrian army had also regained control of Al-Sardeh strategic mountain in Deir Ezzur countryside earlier.

Elsewhere, the Syrian army repelled an attack by the armed rebels in a strategic region in Daraa countryside in the Southern parts of the country.

The army pushed back the militants of the Ahrar Al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) who were trying to seize a military center of the Syrian army in Ain Al-Tineh town in Al-Qanitreh region in Daraa countryside.

The Syrian army restored security to the international Damascus-Daraa highway by pushing back the militants from surrounding areas a few days ago.

The militants stationed in Al-Qadam town in Damascus countryside attacked the Damascus-Daraa highway again, but they faced counterattacks by the Syrian army.

The army units brought three buildings in Al-Qadam region under their control concurrent with launching fresh attacks on the militants.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed terrorists and militants against the Syrian army and civilians across the country.

Thousands of people have been killed since terrorist and armed groups turned protest rallies into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

In October 2011, calm was almost restored in most parts of the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies brought the country into chaos through every possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May, 2012 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

According to the report, material was being stockpiled in Damascus, in Idlib near the Turkish border and in Zabadani on the Lebanese border.

Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons – most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past – has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
