    TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian army made major advances in Reef (outskirts
    of) Aleppo in Northern Syria near the Turkish borders and pushed back
    the armed rebels from the occupied areas.

    The army's infantry supported by artillery and air defense units
    advanced in al-Zobdieh and Seif al-Doleh in Reef Aleppo in a move to
    take full control of the two regions.

    The Syrian army can protect Aleppo's residential areas only after
    taking control of al-Zobdieh and Seif al-Doleh. Clashes continue in
    both regions.

    Last week, the Syrian army made major advances in Reef Homs in Western
    Syria, foiling the attempts made by the armed rebel groups in nearby
    areas to help besieged militants in the Homs region.

    The army's infantry units entered al-Khalediya region in Reef Homs,
    an informed Syrian military source told FNA.

    The source noted that despite heavy clashes between the Syrian army and
    the armed rebels in al-Khalediya, the army could make major advances
    and destroyed tens of rebel bastions in the region.

    "As the army suddenly entered al-Khalediya, terrorist groups and
    armed rebels in adjacent areas tried hard to help the rebels besieged
    in the region, but the Syrian army confronted them," the military
    source added.

    Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
    attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
    guards being reported across the country.

    Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have
    been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

    The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
    for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
    from abroad.

    In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after
    President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel,
    the US and its Arab allies sought hard to bring the country into chaos
    through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals
    have been staging various plots to topple President Bashar al-Assad,
    who is well known in the world for his anti-Israeli stances.
