Terrorists in Syria go on offensive, suffer more than 100 casualties

Damascus, Nov 28 (Prensa Latina) Radical groups have suffered at least a hundred casualties in their ranks since the beginning of their offensive on Wednesday in the province of Aleppo, in northern Syria, according to media reports.

The number of terrorists killed in the attack totaled more than 75 Syrian nationals. At least 30 foreigners, including Turks, Uzbeks, and Uighurs, were eliminated and about 100 were wounded.

Among the casualties are leaders such as Abu Hassan Al-Maarra, head of security for the Hayet Tahrir Cham group, Abdul Karim Al-Qasim, leader of Suqur Al-Sham, and the commanders of the “Northern Storm” brigade and the Nour Eddin Al-Zenki Movement.

Military sources said that in the face of the sudden attack and intense fire, the Syrian army had to evacuate some of its positions and retreat to reorganize and fortify itself.

Some media outlets estimated that around 30 Syrians were killed while repelling the fierce terrorist offensive.

In southern Idlib, the irregulars opened another front from the towns of Nairab and Sarmin towards the municipality of Saraqueb, located on the strategic and vital international highway between Aleppo and Damascus.

On Wednesday, elements of the 25th Division of the Republican Guard and other military formations engaged in combat with hundreds of suicide bombers in the west of Aleppo province, nearly 400 kilometers north of the capital.

Syrian units used heavy artillery and multiple rocket launchers to hit the terrorists’ supply lines, while Russian aviation participated in the operations to repel the attacking irregulars.

The terrorists’ attacks took place simultaneously with Israeli attacks on military positions and border crossings in Syria.
