Syrian Army, Allies Take Idlib Air Base
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – The Syrian army and allied forces captured Abu al-Duhur airport in Idlib province from insurgents on Saturday, a Hezbollah military media unit said.
They had pushed into the military air base hours earlier, pressing their offensive in Syria’s largest militant stronghold, said the media unit run by Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which fights along the Damascus government.
The advancement is part of the army’s ongoing operations to liberate Idlib.
On their way to the airport, Syrian soldiers also regained full control of the village of Om Tineh, al-Ja’kiya, Hamidiya Shaddad and al-Hamidiya following heavy clashes with the terrorists of al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorist group, previously known as al-Nusra Front.
Government troops also defused explosive devices and booby traps planted in the village by the terrorists.
Meanwhile, Syrian troops managed to liberate the villages of al-Mazyouna, al-‘Iyya and Um Wadi from the clutches of militant groups in the southern countryside of Aleppo.
The Syrian government says the Zionist regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
Syrian soldiers, and pro-government forces, pose for a picture in front of damaged buildings in the eastern Syrian city of Dayr al-Zawr on November 3, 2017.
