Syrian Army Kills 400 foreign-backed Terrorists in Aleppo, Homs

The Syrian army killed over 400 terrorists during military operations in the different districts of Aleppo and Homs on Saturday.

The army units conducted extensive operations in Jouret Shiyah region of Homs on Saturday which resulted in the death of tens of terrorists.

Scores of terrorist commanders were also among those killed in both Aleppo and Homs on Saturday. The army killed 25 armed rebels only in Bab al-Hood district of Homs.

In a relevant development, the Syrian army killed scores of Saudi and Qatari terrorists in Karam al-Jabal district of Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city which is also its commercial hub.

On Friday, Syrian newspaper al-Baath released the names of a number of the Saudi and Qatari nationals who were killed during the army clashes with terrorists in the city of Aleppo on Friday.

According to Ajel news agency, the Syrian army intensified its military operations against armed rebels in the cities of Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Daraa on Friday.

Hundreds of terrorists were killed and injured during clashes with the Syrian army in different Syrian cities on Friday.

Meantime, the army destroyed many vehicles of the terrorists which were equipped with heavy machine guns. It also seized large caches of ammunitions and weapons from terrorists in the western Syrian port city of Latakia.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned 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 eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any 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 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-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 is 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.
