Syria army regains full control of Morek

24 October 2014 7:48

The Syrian army has flushed out Takfiri militants from a strategic town nine months after it was seized by the terrorists.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that Syrian ground forces backed by airstrikes liberated the town of Morek from the militants belonging to the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.

Syrian forces “took back total control of Morek in the north of Hama countryside, after fierce battles that have raged” since Wednesday night, the UK-based Syrian opposition group said.

There has been no report on the number of the casualties of the fighting.

Morek is considered a significant town as it is located on the main road linking the Syrian capital city, Damascus, to the country’s largest city of Aleppo in the northwest.

The success is the latest gain in a string of victories against the militants fighting the Syrian government.

On Monday, Syrian forces recaptured the Mazra’at al-Halabi area and Madafeh Hill in Aleppo’s eastern countryside.

Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since 2011. Western powers and some of their regional allies – especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – are reportedly supporting the militants operating in Syria.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein has said that more than 200,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict since March 2011.

SYRIAN ARMY KILLS TERRORIST COMMANDER IN MORK

مقتل الإرهابي رداد خلوف قائد لواء ما يسمى

In pursuing the remnant rodents in Al-Mawrek (var: Mork), the SAA occasionally must commit acts considered rude by the simian/rodent-like terrorist trash in some infested towns. In this case, yesterday, the SAA killed the leader of the “Suqoor Al-Ma’arra” (Falcons of Al-Ma’arra) which is a franchise of Suqoor Al-Shaam (Falcons of Syria) which is a franchise of Al-Jabhat Al-Islamiyya. His name? Ridaad Khalloof a/k/a “Abu Akram”.

He is responsible for a military campaign titled “The Battle of the One Army” (Ma’rakat Al-Jaysh Al-Waahid) which aimed to take over Waadi Al-Dhayf and Al-Haamidiyya military bases. He failed. He is now among the screaming rats of Hell. Our middle fingers are extended out to his miserable kinfolk with the wish they send our army even more sterling examples of Rodenta.
