The Syrian Army has now recaptured all al-Qusayr and its countryside as its forces regained the village of eastern al-Bowayda, the last bastion for the foreign-backed militants fighting the Syrian government.

Official news agency, SANA, reported that the Syrian Army “on Saturday restored security and stability to eastern al-BowaSyrian Army soldiersyda village in al-Qusayr, Homs countryside, after eliminating the last gatherings of terrorists there.”

The agency quoted an official as saying that  “a large number of terrorists were killed while their criminal equipment was destroyed” during the operation.

The “Army is going ahead in removing the debris of destruction and the barricades set up by the terrorists, while the engineering units are dismantling the explosives planted by the terrorists on the roads,” SANA added.

On Thursday the Syrian army recaptured the town of Daba’a, and later on Friday it took control of al-Maso'udieh and al-Salhieh towns.
