Syrian Army Takes Control of Strategic Highway in Idlib Province
13:54 GMT 13.07.2015 (Updated: 13:56 GMT 13.07.2015) Syrian government troops have regained a strategic highway in Idlib province from rebel control, as reported by FARS news agency.
The Syrian army and militia took control of the highway from Ariha to Jisr ash-Shugur along with some of the surrounding areas in the north-west of the country after heavy fighting against the Islamist rebels.
The army retreated from the area in May after a ‘lightning’ offensive in Idlib province conducted by Jaish al-Fatah, an alliance of Islamist groups led by the local al-Qaeda branch al-Nusra Front.
