On Sunday, the army said it killed many Jabhat al-Nusra-linked militants in Maaret al-Numan in Idlib and seized their weapons, the official SANA news agency reported.
A unit of the Syrian Army also killed many militants in the villages of al-Amoudiyeh and Heesh in the governorate.
Abdul-Razzaq Omar al-Zouzo, leader of the Khattab Battalion, Abdul-Hamid Hikmat al-Badawi, leader of the Al-Tawhid Brigade, and Abo al-Saad, leader of the Al-Khadraa Battali were identified among the dead.
Government troops also destroyed a missile launching base in Ma’r Shamshi village of Idlib and “eliminated a large number of terrorists”.
Syrian government forces also launched attacks against militants in the governorates of Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, and Lattakia on Friday and killed a large number of them.
In addition, the Syrian armed forces captured many machine guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, hand-made rockets, mortar shells, and anti-tank missiles.
The Syria crisis began in March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of soldiers and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.
In an interview recently broadcast on German television, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that the government did not start the conflict and the militant groups were the ones killing Syrian citizens and destroying the country’s infrastructure.
