Syrian army units, aided by pro-government fighters and Russian air force, have killed 120 members of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the western-central province of Hama, pushing the terrorists out of the town of Uqayribat, their last major bastion in the restive province, a report says.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tThe so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday that\u00a0the Daesh terrorists \u201cwere killed in clashes in and around the town of Uqayribat in the eastern Hama countryside.\u201d The fierce clashes with Syrian forces occurred during the previous 24 hours, it added.<\/p>\n

\n\tUqayribat fell to Daesh in 2014 and has since been used by the Takfiri terrorists\u00a0to launch attacks against government-held areas, including a vital road, which according to the observatory, is \u201cthe only lifeline\u201d for the Syrian government \u201cbetween Aleppo and central and southern Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, Syrian army troops took over the town but Daesh managed to recapture most of it in a counteroffensive on Saturday. However, an intense barrage of artillery fire unleashed by Syrian forces against the Takfiri\u00a0positions in the volatile town on Sunday morning flushed them out.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the observatory, multiple airstrikes carried out by Russian warplanes aided the government forces to clinch the\u00a0victory over terrorists in Uqayribat. The report added that victorious troops then advanced toward\u00a0a number of villages to the west that still remained under the control of Daesh.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in June, government forces, supported by heavy Russian airstrikes, carried out a major counterterrorism operation on Daesh-held areas in Hama. Some parts of the province’s rural north are still under the control of other militant groups.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in its report, the monitoring group noted that \u201cby consolidating their control of (Uqayribat) and ousting Daesh from the surrounding villages,\u201d Syrian troops managed to oust terrorists from the whole of Hama province.<\/p>\n

\n\tSix of the 14 provinces of Syria are neighbors to Hama, which makes it strategically vital to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad\u00a0as it cuts access of armed groups in Idlib to the capital Damascus in the south, and the government\u2019s coastal heartlands to the west.<\/p>\n

\n\tSyrian army soldiers on Saturday also regained control of an area north of Mannoukh village in the central province of Homs, inflicting heavy losses on the Daesh ranks and its military equipment. Elsewhere in the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, Syrian and Russian fighter jets pounded the Daesh positions and fortifications.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the past few months, Daesh has suffered multiple defeats across Syria, notably in the city of Raqqah, its de facto capital in the Arab country. It has also been heavily battered in neighboring Iraq, particularly by losing its main Iraqi base of Mosul in July.<\/p>\n

\n\tSyria has been fighting different foreign-sponsored militant and terrorist groups since March 2011. The Damascus government has repeatedly blamed certain countries for the spread of the devastating militancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
