Syrian government troops have killed at least 70 Takfiri ISIL terrorists during a massive military operation in the country’s troubled north, initial reports say.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which is based in London and opposes the Syrian government, confirmed the latest reports on Friday.
Senior officials from the SOHR say the militants have been killed in the northern province of Raqqa since early Wednesday following the government air raids on their strongholds.
This came after the Takfiri terrorists launched a major push on a military airport in the city of Raqqa. The ISIL militants have already captured a large part of the northern region.
