Military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Syria’s official news agency SANA on Tuesday that Syrian troops had established full control over Tal Asadi, Tal Jarin, Tal al-Rayahin and al-Sabouni districts as well as an area expanding 100 square kilometers.

The sources added that Syrian army units who launched a major clean-up operation in Suwayda last Friday, are now combing liberated areas for mines and hidden improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in addition to last remnants of Daesh Takfiris.
