24.06.2021, Damascus.

The elite units of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) are preparing to move south to Daraa province after the accomplishment of the military operation in the desert, Rossa Primavera News Agency’s source in Syria informed on June 24.

“After completing the mopping up the Syrian desert from the remnants of ISIL (organization banned Russia), the elite forces of the Syrian army are preparing to move to the Daraa Al-Balad area in order to restore security and stability there,” the source informed.

The elite units of the Syrian army include the 25th Division Tiger Forces under command of Brigadier General Suheil Salman al-Hassan and the 5th Volunteer Assault Corps (VAC) created with direct participation of Russia.

These units are now in the Syrian desert, where they are taking part in a military operation to eliminate underground cells of ISIL (organization banned in Russia). During the first phase of the operation, 338 terrorists were eliminated, and about 100 structures, including militant caves and hiding places, were destroyed.

The uprising in Daraa province in 2011 launched the so-called Arab Spring in Syria. Muslim Brotherhood (organization banned in Russia) militants who participated in demonstrations provoked clashes with Syrian security forces, which later escalated into large-scale combat operations.
