The Syrian Ministry of Defense released footage of a number of "top-tier and concentrated operations" conducted against terrorist organizations, in the countryside of Idlib and Lattakia.

These operations came in response to several continued breaches and violations attributed to militant terror groups in the aforementioned regions. Anti-armor units of the Syrian Arab Army are seen launching a number of anti-tank guided missiles at a number of positions directly targeting militants and their vehicles, as well as barricaded positions that they had set up.

The Ministry explained that terror groups have launched several recent attacks on Syrian towns and villages, adding that its operations come in response to these attacks. The Syrian military's response led to the killing of dozens of terrorists and wounded a number of others.

The Syrian Arab Army has been launching dozens of operations against positions of terror groups, specifically the al-Nusra-affiliated Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria, since the turn of the year.
