In August, heavy clashes between the government forces and jihadists were reported in the southwestern province of Suwayda. The Syrian Army reportedly advanced to drive Daesh* terrorists out of a desert in the province.
Previous year, Syrian government forces managed to liberate 1,300 square kilometres (500 square miles) of the country's territory from terrorists in Al Suwayda province, according to local reports.
Comment: As the Syrian Army regains control over militant held provinces, their troops have been finding vast stocks of weapons made in the US, France, the UK and Israel.
