TEHRAN, November 08 - Syrian government forces have managed to set free all the remaining women and children, who had been abducted by the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group from the country’s southern province of Suwayda in July.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that army troops had carried out a "precise and heroic" operation in Hamimah area northeast of the ancient oasis city of Palmyra, situated 215 kilometers northeast of capital Damascus, on Thursday, engaging in a fierce battle with Daesh extremists.
The report added that Syrian soldiers killed all Daesh members, and set free the women and children.
They had been held by Daesh since July 25, when the terror group stormed the Druze-majority city of Suwayda and its surrounding villages, setting off car bombs and murdering civilians in their homes.
More than 250 people were killed — 60 of them in the village of al-Shabki alone. A number of women and children were seized from the village.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 30 people were taken hostage at the time, and that three of them died while in captivity.
