Syrian Army Gains Ground in Damascus Countryside

The army troops inflicted massive losses on the terrorists in the towns of Erbeen and Zamalka in the countryside of Damascus, leaving scores of them dead and wounded.

Also, the Syrian Army destroyed the strongholds, vehicles and machine-guns belonging to the militants in the area.

The Syrian Army also gained ground in its fight against the armed groups on Saturday, and killed large numbers of foreign-sponsored rebels in Damascus province.

The Syrian troops made major advances in the areas of Sasa', Ghouta, Hatitat al-Jarash, Bala, al-Jarba, al-Qasimyeh and Qalamoun, killing and injuring scores of the rebels.

Also the village of Kifr Hor, Southwest of Damascus, was stormed by the army during the operation.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs and terrorists against both the army and civilians.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.
