positions in Tafs and the town of al-Ya'adoudeh in Western Dara'a.

terrorists' positions in the town of Tafas in Western Dara'a and captured
several strategic regions.

movements and positions near the Old Customs area and the town of al-Na'eimeh
and its nearby regions, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.
The army is tightening siege on the terrorists from the direction of al-Tabelin
road East of Tafas, and from Tal al-Saman in the North.
Local sources, meantime, reported that the army has cut off the main supply line
of the terrorists connecting Western and Eastern Dara'a.
