Damascus, (SANA) – General Command of the Army and the Armed Forces said in a statement that after eliminating scores of terrorist gangs and inflicting heavy losses on them, units of the Syrian Arab Army, in cooperation with the National Defense forces, restored security and stability to Kassab city in Lattakia’s northern countryside after a series of accurate operations in which control was tightened on al-Nabin town and the surrounding areas.
The statement pointed out to the importance of this achievement in terms of the geographic location of Kassab and “It smashes the illusions of the aggression and its tools of securing a marine port and establishing a buffer zone along the borders with Turkey that forms a base for launching terrorist acts against the Syrian people.”
This achievement adds up to the victories achieved by the Syrian people, army and leadership in countering terrorism, the statement noted.
The statement said that deterring terrorism from Kassab city is a decisive blow to the terrorists and their supporters, stressing commitment to pursue the terrorist groups until security and stability are restored to every inch of the homeland.
