Syrian Army Repels Militants’ Attack on Strategic Daraa Region

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 gangs and terrorists against both the army and civilians.

Tens of 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.
