Syrian Army troops continue to gain ground in their fight against foreign-backed armed groups, and have managed to restore security to a number of areas along the border with Lebanon, Press TV reports.
On Tuesday, Syrian government forces continued to engage Takfiri militants in the strategic and mountainous Qalamoun region near the capital, Damascus, and thwarted attempts by groups of armed men to infiltrate the country from neighboring Lebanon.
Syrian soldiers, backed by fighters from Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, pushed ahead with their massive offensive against foreign-backed militants in the area.
