TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian army killed tens of armed rebels and injured
dozens more in heavy clashes in Northern Idlib province on Wednesday.
The army units targeted and destroyed the terrorists’ hideouts in
al-Rami village near Jebel al-Zawiya town and Ariha-Latakia road in
Reef (outskirts of) Idlib killing tens of armed rebels and injuring
many others today.
The army also destroyed many vehicles of the armed rebels during
attacks on gathering centers of armed rebels in al-Rami village.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have
been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after
President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel,
the US and its Arab allies sought hard to bring the country into chaos
through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals
have been staging various plots to topple President Bashar al-Assad,
who is well known in the world for his anti-Israeli stances.
