Sweida: Syrian Army liberates new areas in ISIS-held Al-Safa region
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their field operations in the al-Safa region of al-Sweida, today, after repelling a big Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) counter-offensive. Led by their 3rd Corps and 10th Division, the Syrian Arab Army stormed the Islamic State’s positions in the al-Safa region from two different axes in a bid to overwhelm the terrorist forces. According to a military source in Sweida city, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies from the National Defense Forces (NDF) managed to liberate new points in the al-Safa region on Friday, forcing the Islamic State holy warriors to fall further back. The source said that the Syrian Arab Army and their allies also killed at least ten Islamic State turbans and destroyed a field artillery gun and two technical vehicles. Despite this advance by the Syrian Arab Army, the Islamic State maintains control over several parts of the al-Safa region, including the highest point that overlooks the government’s positions.
