Government troops also killed a large number of militants in several areas in Binnish and al-Nairab towns. The soldiers also targeted foreign-backed gunmen in the areas of Kifr Najd, Nahla, and Kureen in Idlib.
In addition, Syrian government forces launched attacks against militants in the governorates of Damascus, Hama, Lattakia, Homs, Dayr al-Zawr, and Aleppo on Sunday and killed a large number of them.
The Syria crisis began in mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence. Several international human rights organizations say the foreign-sponsored militants have committed war crimes.
