In the Southwestern province of Quneitra, military sources said that militants have retreated from several battlefields following the Syrian Army’s offensives in various parts of the province on Friday.

The sources said that the army troops’ operations in al-Tuloul al-Homr, Trinjeh and Abo Shabta have resulted in the killing and wounding of several insurgents.

Earlier this month, the Syrian government forces targeted Takfiri militants’ hideouts and assembly points in al- Hamehiyeh and al-Samadaniyeh al-Gharbiyeh villages in the countryside of Quneitra, and killed a large group of terrorists, and destroyed all their weapons and ammunition.

Earlier on Thursday, over 1,200 terrorists laid down arms and surrendered to the Syrian authorities, the Syrian local sources also confirmed.

The militants also turned over their cache of ammos to the authorities, both sources added.
The development came after President Bashar al-Assad in a televised address in July pardoned all soldiers who have fled the army, saying that his words served as a general decree to relevant officials.
Hundreds of gunmen have been laying down their weapons and turning themselves in to authorities in areas across the country.
