According to the military source, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th and 9th divisions were redeployed from Idlib to al-Safa region, the AMN reported.

The source said that these two divisions were deployed to al-Safa region to aid the 3rd Corps and 10th Division in their quest to eliminate the ISIL terrorists in southern Syria.

Among the units deployed with this massive convoy to southern Syria is the 9th Division’s Shock Troops; they played a critical role in the Syrian Arab Army’s success in Eastern Ghouta, Dara'a, and Quneitra offensives.

More reinforcements are expected to be redeployed from Idlib Sweida in the coming days, as the need for troops in northwestern Syria is no longer as pressing.
