Dozens of Takfiri terrorists were killed and injured as the Syrian army closed in on them in Jisr al-Shoghour in a bid to free the Syrian soldiers who have been trapped by the insurgents.

Military source told al-Manar that the terrorists suffered heavy losses as the Syrian army took control of al-Mishrfeh, Tal Qintar and Tal Qartal areas which over look Jisr al-Shoghour in Idleb countryside.

“All axes leading to Jisr al-Shoghour city are now within the range of the army’s artillery following intensive operations against dens and gatherings of terrorist organizations,” the source said.

Syrian official news agency, SANA, confirmed the news saying scores of terrorists were killed and others were injured during the military operations on Jisr al-Shoghhour/al-Janoudieh axis and near the city’s national hospital.
