Syria inflicts losses on armed gangs

Clashes continued between Syrian troops and armed rebels in several areas near Homs on Saturday.

Meanwhile, security forces began a major operation from the southwestern outskirts of Aleppo to clear the city of armed gangs.

Two Syrian soldiers were wounded during similar clashes in the Furqan district of Aleppo on Saturday.

There have also been reports of fighting between the Syrian army and rebels in the northern province of Idlib.

Meanwhile, calm has been restored in the capital, Damascus.

The anti-Syria Western regimes have been calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, but Russia and China remain strongly opposed to the Western drive to oust Assad.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday, “Our Western partners… together with some of Syria’s neighbors are essentially encouraging, supporting and directing an armed struggle against [the Syrian government].”
