Syrian Army units established control over al-Hazm al-Gharbiya area

Syrian Army units established control over al-Hazm al-Gharbiya area, the strategic Point al-Raqema and Dahr al-Kharnoubi hill in the vicinity of al-Qaraytain city in the southeastern side of the central province of Homs, a military source told Syrian News Agency on Monday.

Earlier on Sunday, army units, in cooperation with the popular defense groups, established control over Points 850 and 849 in the direction of al-Hazm al-Thani as well as over Point 876 in the direction of al-Rumeila Mount northwest of al-Qaryatain.

According to a senior officer from the Syrian Air Defense, the Russian Air Force has conducted over 30 airstrikes above Quraytayn in the last 12 hours; these attacks have proven to be detrimental to the remaining ISIS terrorists inside this city because they were unable to evade the strikes.
