Syrian Army takes control of 85 percent of Lattakia Province

The Syrian army and the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement continued their advances in Lattakia, and are now in full control over 85 percent of the coastal province, Fars News Agency reports.

The terrorist groups have sustained heavy losses in Lattakia province over the past 6 months and the militants are only in control of 15 percent of the province.

The Syrian army and resistance forces are now trying to consolidate their military positions in strategic Nawareh, Saraf, al-Dorreh, al-Sarmanieh, al-Zeytounia and al-Younesiya regions.

In a relevant development on Sunday, the Syrian Army troops and their popular allies continued to press on the militant groups deployed in the Northeastern parts of Lattakia and the Southern parts of Idlib provinces.

“The Terrorist groups in Northeastern Lattakia have retreated from village-to-village as the Syrian government forces continued their wide-scale advance to the Turkish and Idlib province borders,” battlefield sources said.

The Syrian Armed Forces are expected to enter Kabani in the coming days as they work to weaken the enemy defenses en route to seizing this mountaintop town in Jabal al-Akrad.
