The army’s artillery and missile units opened heavy fire at the Al-Nusra’s positions and movements in the village of Qatra near al-Nu’aman and also in Um Jalal region in Southeastern Idlib, inflicting major losses on the militants.

The army aircraft also conducted a heavy bombing on the strongholds of Tahrir al-Sham and other terrorist groups in Ma’ar Zita and Ma’ar Harma in Southern Idlib.

Local sources reported that several command posts and vital positions of terrorists were destroyed and a number of militants were killed or wounded in the attacks.
