The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the National Defense Forces (NDF) and other pro-government factions have liberated a large area from ISIS southwest of Palmyra, according to the Hezbollah media wing.
According to the report, government forces have liberated Jabal Abush, Jabal al-Nasrani, Jabal al-Abd, Jabal Ghanem, Khan Aniba, the al-Sawaneh area, the al-Sawaneh junction and the al-Busairi crossroads.
Thus, government troops have de-facto secured the most important areas south of the Palmyra-Homs highway and now are clearing the rest of the area from vestiges of terrorists.
A majority of ISIS units have reportedly retreated from the area.
