Syrian army troops continue to make advances against foreign-backed militants by capturing two areas near the capital Damascus, Al-Alam reports.
Soldiers of the Syrian army managed to liberate the villages of Ras al-Ayn and Ras al-Maara near the strategic town of Yabroud in the Qalamoun region on Tuesday.
Takfiri militants fled to villages and towns near Yabroud after they lost their major bastion to the Syrian troops.
The army also captured a workshop used for making improvised explosive devices (IED) during its progress in the region.
The Syrian troops also destroyed several tunnels used by the militants to supply weapons to anti-government insurgents in the village of Jobar near Damascus.
