TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian Army troops carried out mop-up operations in the newly-freed Nasib border-crossing on Sunday, discovering a large volume of arms and ammunition and several NATO armored vehicles.
The army men found several warehouses of arms and ammunition, several tanks, a number of military vehicles, a field hospital with a large volume of medicines and a prison for jailing kidnapped people.
The army men found a large volume of weapons and munitions abandoned by terrorists before they flee the battlefield in Nasib.
A field source said that an OT-64S armored vehicle of the NATO was among the military hardware the army found in Southern Dara’a, adding that the terrorists had recently received the equipment to slow down the army’s advances.
On Saturday, the army men imposed control over al-Mata’eiyeh township, al-Mata’eiyeh Dam and eight checkpoints from 63rd up to 70th at borderline with Jordan and managed to drive terrorists out of Nasib border-crossing.
Local sources said that the army soldiers hoisted the country’s flag over buildings in Nasib that is the Southern gate of Syria’s South.
They added that the army’s engineering units started to defuse bombs and landmines planted by the terrorists in Nasib and its outskirts.
In the meantime, terrorists in the townships of Ma’araba, Jamrin, Kharba, Jabib and Qasam in the Eastern countryside of Dara’a city surrendered their regions to the army, the sources said.
They went on to say that the army restored security to a 20-km chunk of the borderline with Jordan in the last few days, adding that a fresh wave of disputes covered the terrorist front amid the army’s advances in Southern Syria.
