Syrians celebrate Qusayr security

A large number of Syrians have held a rally in the strategic city of Qusayr to celebrate the restoration of security in the city, which borders Lebanon.

The official news agency SANA reported that the demonstrators, waving Syrian flags and chanting nationalistic slogans, marched through the streets of Qusayr on Sunday.
They expressed their trust in the ability of the Syrian security forces to confront terrorists and protect the homeland against plots hatched by the Arab country’s enemies.
Homs governor Ahmad Munir Mohammad, who was leading the rally, said that the public services destroyed by terrorists would be restored soon.
Former Lebanese MP, Hassan Yaacoub, who also participated in the demonstration, said that Syria’s enemies sought to destroy it but failed “due to the steadfastness of the Syrian people and bravery of the Syrian army.”
Last week, Syrian troops established control over Qusayr following weeks of heavy clashes with foreign-backed militants. Syrian troops were backed by forces from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah during the Qusayr operation.
There have been reports of heavy clashes between government forces and the terrorists in Aleppo, Lattakia, Idlib, Deir Ezzor and several Damascus suburbs.
