Improvised landmines have been found too.
Damascus province. Humanitarian help supplies and evacuation of civilians, old and sick people
is going on within Al-Yarmouk Palestinian camp.
People being evacuated tell about the militants depriving them of humanitarian and medical help
so that lots of people were starving and sick.
"We lived well", "they've spoiled our lives", "I'll tell everyone what these militants have done to us".
Damascus province. Syrian Army continues to carry out counter-terror operations within Yabroud town.
It is worth reminding that this town is situated at Syrian border with Lebanon
close to Lebanese town of Arsal where a huge swarm of Al Nusra Front militants is situated
and a constant stream of weapons and ammunition is emanated from.
Syrian Army continues counter-terror operations in Al-Khasaka town within Syria's north east part.
Areas in Fallaha village and near the unknown soldier's tomb are completely freed of armed gangs.
Local self-defense squads are fighting and detaining militants as well.
Militants have dug out a tunnel to Carlton hotel which is a monument of history,
planted explosives and blew it up trying to capture the building afterwards
but coordinated efforts and heroism of Syrian Army fighters have both thwarted that attempt
and eliminated a large number of militants.
Syrian Army has completely freed the territory within Maan and Kyfkop[?] villages
having performed a military operation within Hama province.
We should remind that militants came to this territory a week ago
and committed a massacre along with burning cars, houses, schools. 42 have been killed
including 7 disabled children who have stayed in a hospice.
Children have been brutally and cynically killed by beheading with shouts in the name of "islam".
A large gang of militants who have committed various crimes,
theft, robbery, extortion, fraud have been detained. A lot of evidence of what they've done has been seized.
Residential population came out for a meeting to support Syrian Army and speak against
