Syrian Army Regains Control of 10 Other Villages in Lattakia

Syrian army troops carried out a series of mop-up operations in the principal port city of Lattakia, and regained control of 10 other villages near the city.
FNA dispatches from Syria said that the Syrian army imposed a heavy defeat on the armed rebels and gained the control of Aramo, Kharbat al-Baz, Oubin, Abu Makka, Beit al-Shakouhi, Balouteh, Baroudah, al-Hamboushiyah, al-Khanzouriyah and Jabal al-Shaban villages.

The Syrian forces also killed all the militants in their positions on Sheikh Nabhan and al-Nabi Ashiya hills and regained their control.

Over 3,000 families living in villages around Syria’s Western coastal city of Latakia have been displaced, the United Nation report said last week.

The report added that the Syrian government has set up three shelters for the displaced people, “But reports indicate that 80 percent of the displaced people are staying with relatives and host communities inside Latakia city.”

Earlier this month, foreign-sponsored militants fighting against the Syrian government attacked three villages in the countryside of Latakia.

Over the past few days, Syrian forces have killed scores of Takfiri militants – mostly foreign mercenaries – in Latakia.

Also earlier this month, Syrian Army troops killed two leaders of the foreign-backed militants, Abu Zaid al-Almani and Abu Malik al-Shahri, in the coastal province.
