A high-ranking military source said that at least 50 bases of the terrorists were destroyed and 80 terrorists were injured during the operation.
The Syrian Army operation comes after dozens of people were killed and injured following a drone attack on a military academy in the country’s Homs province on Thursday evening.
According to the 2017 agreement among Iran, Russia, and Turkey as the guarantor countries of the Astana Peace Talks, four safe zones were established in Syria.
Three regions came under the control of the Syrian army in 2018, but the fourth region, which includes Idlib province in northwestern Syria and small parts of Latakia, Hama, and Aleppo provinces, is still under the control of terrorist groups and adversary groups.
At the end of the summer of 2018, the leaders of Russia and Turkey reached an agreement in Sochi, Russia, during which Turkey promised to remove or disarm the terrorists based in that region without bloodshed.
