Syrian Army Dispatches Huge Military Convoy to Dara'aTEHRAN (Defapress)-The army sent tens of tanks, military vehicles, missile launchers, trucks carrying heavy weapons and military hardware along with a large number of elite forces to Dara'a province.

Local sources, meantime, said that thousands of army men have left their positions in Eastern Qalamoun and Damascus for Dara'a and Quneitra provinces in the last two days.

The army plans to launch a large-scale operation in Southern Syria to free the entire Dara'a province and impose full control over the border with Jordan and the key Nasib border-crossing.

Also, Northern Sweida that is under the control of the Al-Nusra front (also known as Fatah al-Sham Front or the Levant Liberation Board) and its affiliated terrorists will be freed if the army scores victory in the operation.

Military analyst said that the army's operation in Dara'a will be expanded to Quneitra province near the occupied Golan to put an end to the terrorists' presence in Southern and Southwestern Syria.

In a relevant development last week, the army's artillery and missile units shelled the defenses of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at in the Al-Lijat region for the first time in several weeks.

Furthermore, the Syrian Army’s attack was meant to fracture the front-lines of the militants before they launch their long-awaited offensive in Southern Syria.

The Syrian Army has already mobilized thousands of soldiers to participate in the upcoming Southern Syria offensive; however, the majority of these troops have deployed to Quneitra and Sheikh Meskeen region of Dara’a.
