Speaking to BasNews website, Lt. Gen. Hazem Tawfiq said “security troops are currently cordoning Badush mountains and carried out a wide-scale campaign to storm the tunnels, where the militants are hiding.This came in the wake of clashes, earlier today, [in al-Lazaka village] between army personnel and the militants.”
“Four personnel were killed, while the militants ran away,” he added.
Troops, according to Tawfiq, “are progressing with support by army jets, which began shelling ahead of raiding the tunnels.”
