Syria: Army Recaptures Strategic Hill in Zabadani, Advances in Other Areas

Units of the Syrian army and the armed forces on Wednesday continued to tighten the noose around the Takfiri terrorist organizations across the country through launching wide-scale military operation against them, killing scores of terrorists and destroying their dens and arms and establishing control over new areas in Idleb and Damascus countryside.

Idleb

The army established full control on Kafar Najd and Nahlia villages in the southern countryside of Idleb on Wednesday, a military source said.

The source explained to SANA that assuming control of the two villages came as a result of intensive operations which were carried out by the army air force against terrorists’ positions and some of their supply routes in the northern province.

The army smashed dens of terrorists in Idleb, killed scores of them and injured many others.

The hideouts and gatherings of terrorists from al-Nusra and its affiliates were eliminated to the last one in the villages, with dozens of terrorists getting killed according to the source.

Meanwhile, in northern Aleppo city, and specifically in Maarat Masrin that constitutes a main passage for infiltration from Turkey, the army air force targeted and destroyed vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and armored vehicles belonging to al-Nusra and its affiliates, leaving tens of terrorists dead or wounded.

The army airstrikes in al-Mukbela and Kourin villages and Sarmin town in Idleb also resulted in killing scores of terrorists and destroying plenty of armored vehicles and vehicles with heavy machine guns mounted on them.

The army artillery also destroyed hideouts of terrorist organizations in Mantaf town, 25 km to the south of Idleb.

DER’AH: JORDANIAN REGIME’S BIZARRE BEHAVIOR AT NASEEB CROSSING; IDLIB: NAHLAYYAA CONFIRMED LIBERATED

Ziad Fadel

DER’AH: If any of you were wondering what was going on in the Dwarf King’s mind when he ok’ed Al-Qaeda’s occupation of the Jordanian side of the Naseeb Crossing, you were not alone. The economic ramifications for Jordan’s business and agricultural community are massive when one considers that most of Jordan’s exports of foodstuffs harvested in the Aghwaar area of the western river which gives its name to this British-concocted abomination goes through Syria over highways controlled by the Syrian Army into the financially lucrative markets in Lebanon or to the ports at Tartous or Latakia where they were previously shipped to customers in Europe. Well, the story becomes even more confusing when one considers the fact that Jordan’s U.S. ally lists Nusra/Alqaeda as a terrorist organization even though the king specifically gave it permission to take over part of the crossing.

The Jordanian Army had a second thought about this after the U.S. voiced its opposition to such cooperation between the monarchy and the Takfiri group. In order to assuage any American hurt feelings, King PlayStation ordered the Alqaeda wretches out of the crossing and injected his military alongside another group of terrorists, one representing the Fake Syrian Army led by incompetent derelict, ‘Abdul-Ilaah Al-Basheer Al-Nu’aymi, and the Court of the Seat of Justice (Mahkamat Daar Al-‘Adl). They took over the Jordanian side of the Duty Free Zone. But now, instead of wanting to hold up all the millions of tons of vegetables and fruits, the Jordanian regime tasked the terrorist rats with facilitating the movement of trucks into Syria. Well, that should please his entrepreneurial supporters, right?

The trucks have not been allowed to enter Syria and the foodstuffs are rotting at the border. Truck drivers know that if the Syrian army wanted to waylay them, it could do so with ease. So, they’re waiting for some kind of opening as they slowly starve to death in Jordan. Great move, King Pygmy the Hashemite!

Dam Road: Nusra got hit here when an armored car was blown up by SAA RPG operators. No other details.

West Al-Maleeha Village: The SAA aimed for and hit a car carrying 5 rodents:

‘Abdul-Kareem Al-‘Abed

Ahmad Bilaal Sawwaan

The other 3 were not identified.

We are seeing increased SAA activity in the very treacherous wilderness of Al-Lijaat where rocky expanses provide ideal haven for terrorist jackals. The same is true of Der’ah City which is still infested in some areas with disease-carrying rodents.

City: At the Bilaal Al-Habashi Mosque, the SAA skirmished with the plague-ridden vermin and killed 3.

Fighting reported here: Al-Bayyi’aat, Old Customs Building, Umm Walad, East Al-Karak, Khaleef Hills.
