An army unit eliminated many terrorists after monitoring their movements near al-Sultan gas station on the road of Gharaz prison to the south of al-Nu’eima town in the eastern countryside of Daraa, a military source told SANA.

The source added that scores of al-Nusra terrorists were killed and their arms and ammunition were destroyed in a concentrated operation against their gatherings in al-Hrak city, 30 km northeast of Daraa city.

In Quneitra countryside, an army unit carried out a successful operation targeting vehicles belonging to al-Nusra terrorists in Naba al- Sakhir village, 16 km southeast of Quneitra city. A number of the vehicles, which carried weapons and ammunition, were destroyed, while all terrorists onboard were killed.

Syria was hit by a violent unrest since mid-March 2011, where the western media reports accuse countries, mainly the USA, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar of orchestrating the civil conflict in the country and providing terrorist groups with money, weapons and trained mercenaries.

On May 2011, Syrian army launched a wide-scale operation against armed groups and gunmen operating in the country, who started to escape the army blows and infiltrate illegally to Lebanon.
