Dozens of Assad regime members have been killed and injured since the start of the operations, while several cannons and armored vehicles were seized by the factions, the sources say.
" The factions have captured a tank and a 23 mm cannon in al-Neirab, and destroyed two 23 mm cannons, 2 tanks, and a personnel carrier," the sources point out.
The sources added that clashes with light weapons are still taking place in al-Neirab, in attempts by the factions to take full control of it.
In a similar context, an Assad helicopter's crew has been killed as their aircraft was targeted in Idlib by the opposition factions with an anti-aircraft missile.
