The national military was also able to thwart the attack completely and seize a BMB vehicle and some ammunition.

A large number of terrorists were killed during the operation, and some of the bodies were left in the battlefield.

In Lattakia, 70 terrorists were killed during army operations that targeted their hideouts in the northern countryside of the coastal Lattakia province, according to a military source.

In Idleb, the army’s air force targeted gatherings of terrorists in Abu al-Duhour town, about 50 km southeast of Idleb city in northwestern Syria, killing a number of terrorists linked to the so-called “Jaish al-Fateh”, according to a military source.

A number of the terrorists’ vehicles were destroyed, the source told SANA.

Many terrorists were killed in army airstrikes in Ihsem and to the north of Maatram in the southwestern countryside of the province.

The source added that the army inflicted heavy losses upon terrorists of “Jaish al-Fateh” and al-Nusra Front as its air force targeted their hideouts and positions in Qarqour in southern Jisr al-Shughour.
