Syria to US Occupation Forces: Get Out
Earlier, the Syrian Defense Ministry said the government army had engaged terrorists who had attacked the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib last Wednesday. In violation of the deescalation agreement, groups belonging to the terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham attacked villages, settlements, and military positions in Aleppo and Idlib. According to the ministry, the army responded to the attack, and the terrorists suffered losses in manpower and equipment.
An armed conflict has been ongoing in Syria since 2011. Separate groups of terrorists continue to operate in the desert areas of northern and northeastern Syria after the army liberated most of the country. Terrorists periodically carry out raids on civilian and military vehicles on highways and terrorize residents of remote villages. The Syrian army continues active targeted operations to eliminate the remaining militant groups.

Terrorist Actions in Syria Part of US Plan to Destabilize West Asia - Iranian Ministry

Recent actions of terrorist groups in Syria are part of the plan of Tel Aviv and Washington to destabilize the West Asian region, as well as a gross violation of the Astana process agreements, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.
"In response to developments over the past two days in Syria, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a warning about the renewed activity of Takfiri-terrorist groups. Esmaeil Baqaei called for decisive and coordinated measures to prevent the expansion of the scourge of terrorism in the region. Baqaei strongly condemned all forms and manifestations of terrorism, describing the recent movements of terrorist groups in Syria as part of the sinister scheme orchestrated by the terrorist Zionist regime and the United States to destabilize the West Asia region," the ministry said in a statement.
