DAMASCUS - 8 August 2017: Syrian government forces have made fresh territorial gains against the Takfiri Daesh militants in the country’s southernmost province of Suwayda, Press TV reported Tuesday.

Military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Syria’s official news agency SANA that Syrian troops had established full control over Tal Asadi, Tal Jarin, Tal al-Rayahin and al-Sabouni districts as well as an area expanding 100 square kilometers.
