The army soldiers continued their large-scale operation against ISIL in Hawz Yarmouk in Southwestern Dara’a and captured the village of Mouzreh and the town of Abedeen West of the town of al-Shajarah.
In the meantime, the army’s artillery and missile units opened heavy fire at ISIL’s movements and positions, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.
The remaining pockets of ISIL have fled towards other regions in Southwestern Dara’a after they suffered heavy defeats in the depth of Hawz Yarmouk.
In the meantime, a field source said that the army has tightened siege on ISIL trapped in the town of al-Shajara after the government forces captured the town of Abedeen.
Reports said earlier today that the rebel fighters from the Free Syrian Army’s Shabab Al-Sunnah Brigade are currently taking part in the Syrian Army’s ongoing offensive against the ISIL-affiliated Jeish Khaled bin Walid terrorists in Hawz Yarmouk region.
According to a Syrian military report, over 500 former rebels are now fighting alongside the government forces after settling their cases in Dara’a.
These reconciled rebels were given the option to serve alongside the Syrian Army in order to settle their cases and remain in Dara’a and Quneitra provinces.
