The Syrian Arab Army has successfully reclaimed key areas along the administrative border between Hama and Idlib, marking significant progress in its efforts to stabilize the region amid widespread terrorist raids.

This advancement was achieved through a series of intensive airstrikes targeting positions held by terrorist groups, particularly in the vicinity of Morek, north of Hama. The strikes delivered a critical blow to the terrorist forces, with over 80 militants killed and dozens more wounded.

In Aleppo, a decisive military operation at the al-Basel roundabout further weakened terrorist groups, forcing them to acknowledge their heavy losses.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Syrian army has regained control over nearly all the villages in the Hama countryside, solidifying its presence in the area. Additionally, efforts are underway to secure the Athraya-Khanaser-Safira road in the southern countryside of Aleppo.

However, challenges persist as armed groups in the region are reportedly preventing civilians from leaving al-Safira and blocking humanitarian aid from entering, further exacerbating the plight of local residents.

Terrorism only understands force

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad pledged to use force to eradicate "terrorism" during a phone call on Sunday with the Acting President of the Republic of Abkhazia, according to the state news agency SANA.

Al-Assad pointed out that "terrorism only understands the language of force, and that is the language which we will break it and eliminate it with, whoever its supporters and sponsors are," SANA reported.

His statements came as Syrian Army units operating in the northern countryside of Hama strengthened their defensive lines with various firepower assets, a Syrian military source confirmed to SANA.

"Our forces operating in the northern countryside of Hama repelled terrorist organizations, preventing them from achieving any breakthroughs," the source said, adding that the Syrian Amry successfully liberated several areas after expelling terrorists, most notably Qal’at al-Madiq and the village of Ma’ardas in Hama.

Syrian state TV also announced that the Syrian Army's confrontations in the past three days with HTS led to the killing of around a thousand militants.

On Saturday, al-Assad held discussions with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, focusing on counterterrorism efforts and regional developments.

In a phone call with al-Assad, al-Sudani emphasized that "the security of Syria and Iraq is interconnected" and reiterated Iraq's readiness to provide full support to Syria in combating terrorism and its organizations.

He further affirmed Iraq's commitment to Syria's stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The Syrian President also spoke with the UAE's President Al Nahyan, addressing recent developments in Syria and broader regional issues.

Al-Assad stressed in the call that Syria remains committed to defending its stability and territorial integrity against terrorist threats and their supporters.
