Syrian army has recaptured several towns from the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, following intense battles in the central part of the country.
The UK-based so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday that Syrian forces liberated the strategic Maheen and Hawareen towns in the southeastern countryside of the central Homs Province.
Syrian army soldiers broke the towns’ siege following an intense two-day battle against the Daesh militant group.
Syrian government troops backed by the country’s fighter jets also destroyed several militants' hideouts and inflicted heavy losses on the Daesh terrorists across the militant-riddled regions.
The government forces also retook Sada, a predominantly Christian town in the eastern suburbs of Homs. The Syrian forces' next plan will be to recapture the city of Qaryatayn, which was seized by the Deah group in early August.
Syrian army soldiers also launched an offensive on the ancient central city of Palmyra, situated 215 kilometers (133 miles) northeast of Damascus, on Sunday, killing a large number of al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front terrorists, Syria's official news agency SANA reported.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, in an interview with China's Phoenix television on Sunday, hailed Russia's military engagement against terrorists in the violence-wrecked country, adding that since the beginning of the Russian campaign on September 30, terrorists had begun to retreat and flee in thousands.
accused the US-led West of complicity in the provision of assistance to the Takfiri terrorist group of Daesh, which has overrun about a third of Syria and is tyrannizing the civilian population there.
“Logistically, all kinds of supports to ISIS (Daesh), whether it’s human resources, money, and selling their oil, and so on, passes through Turkey, in cooperation with the Saudis and Qataris, and of course with American and Western overlooking of what’s going on.” Assad noted that terrorists harrying the country grew in power after the United States and its allies started aerial strikes against purported Daesh hideouts.
