Several ISIL, Nusra Fighters Killed in Syrian Army Attacks in Damascus, Sweida

The Syrian Army troops won two battles against the terrorists of the ISIL and al-Nusra Front in the strategic provinces of Damascus and Sweida, informed sources announced.

The sources said that the Syrian army stormed al-Nusra terrorists’ hideouts in Khan al-Sheih farms, and killed or injured dozens of the foreign-backed fighters.

Meanwhile, tens of the ISIL terrorists were killed and wounded in the Syrian soldiers’ offensives in Jarm al-Dawla village in Southeastern countryside of Sweida.

Syria has been grappling with a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fuelled by Takfiri groups has so far claimed the lives of over 210,000 people, according to reports. New figures show that over 76,000 people, including thousands of children, lost their lives in Syria last year.
