Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that at least three villages have been liberated by the army during their operations.
The army troops recaptured the strategic villages of Ma'ar Tamater, Ma'artasin and Baarbo, following clashes with terrorist groups, according to SANA.
On August 5, the Syrian army declared in a statement the start of an offensive against foreign-sponsored militants in Idlib after those positioned in the de-escalation zone failed to honor a ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey and continued to target civilian neighborhoods.
