A number of ISIL terrorists were killed in a military operation in al-Qasr village, a military source said, adding that a mortar launcher and several vehicles equipped with machineguns belonging to the terrorists were destroyed.

The army also clashed with ISIL Takfiri militants moving from the direction of Khirbet Saad towards Tal al-Bouthaina, and killed scores of the militants and injured others, and destroyed their arms and ammunition.
