TEHRAN - A large number of Takfiri militants were killed in fierce clashes between the Syrian army forces and armed groups on the outskirts of Homs and Idlib provinces.
The army soldiers stormed the hideouts of the rebels in the areas of Ein Hussein al-Janoubi, Talbiseh, Hilaliya and Tal Abu in Homs province, killing and injuring scores of them.
Also, the militants suffered major losses in the areas of al-Rami, Sermin, Abu al-Duhour, al-Mestriha, and Bayaet al-Sekhneh in Idlib countryside, as the army made gains in the province.
Syria has been the scene of insurgency since 2011 when certain western powers and their regional allies voiced loudly that Syrian protests have no diplomatic solution and they started supplying the country's opposition groups with their arms and funds.
In 2014, specially after victory of President Bashar al-Assad in the country's presidential election, the army has gained upper hand in its anti-terrorism campaign, and has been partly successful in sealing borders with Turkey and Jordan.
