Victorious Syrian Army retake strategic town

Syrian forces have recaptured the strategic northern town of Ariha following heavy clashes with foreign-backed militants operating inside Syria.

Syrian opposition sources said on Tuesday that government forces have gained the upper hand in battling militants and recaptured the key town in Latakia Province.
The strategic coastal town is located near a major highway leading to the northern town of Idlib.
The latest achievement has paved the way for reopening of a supply route between the coastal area and army-controlled areas in Idlib Province.
This is while Syrian forces continue their operations against militants in nearby towns and mountains to take full control of the region.
