Syrian army advances against terrorists in Dara'a; Israel raises alert in Golan
Tehran (KNA) - The Syrian army has managed to wrest control over several towns and villages in the strategic southern Dara'a Province, leading Israel to raise its alert level in the bordering Golan Heights.
Syria's official SANA news agency reported on Friday that the army had retaken al-Herak, Rakham, al-Soura, Alma, al-Mliha al-Sharqia and al-Mliha al-Gharbia in Dara'a countryside, killing scores of Takfiri terrorists.The Syrian military's engineering units later started to dismantle mines and improvised explosive devices planted by the militants before they fled to neighboring areas, the report said.
A Syrian field commander told SANA that the army would continue its operations in Dara'a until the eradication of terrorism.
Separately, SANA reported that foreign-backed militants in the villages of Um Walad, Jbib and al-Aslaha in Dara'a's eastern countryside had agreed to lay down arms and reconcile with the Syrian government.
