Popular committees in the Syria besieged cities of Fuaa and Kefraya in Idlib countryside repelled a violent attack by insurgents on Monday, amid heavy firing of rockets and mortar shells on civilian neighborhoods in the cities.

“Violent clashes continued between the popular committees in the besieged cities and armed groups affiliated with an alliance known as “Army of Conquest”,” well-informed sources told Al-Manar website.

The popular committees managed to destroy a BMP vehicles (a Soviet amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle)before it reached its target amid heavy artillery from terrorist groups.

The committees also repelled attacks by militants in Deir Zughb, Samaghiyeh and Banash cities and damaged a tank. They inflicted heavy losses among the terrorists. 

Separately, a number of militants were wounded when a bomb detonated in a tunnel exploded as they were dugging through it  from the point of Banash to reach one of the committees posts.
