The Syrian
army has destroyed the Turkey-provided telecommunication system of
foreign-sponsored insurgents, amid on-going clashes between the government
troops and armed gangs in the north-western city of Aleppo, Press TV reports.
The
development comes as the Syrian security forces continue their operation in
Aleppo to clear the city of insurgents.
On Tuesday,
the Syrian army killed tens of insurgents in the south-western neighbourhood of
Salahuddin and the southern district of Sokari in the city.
The Syrian
Foreign Ministry recently sent two letters addressed to the head of the UN
Security Council and the UN secretary general, stating that the insurgents
backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are using civilians in Aleppo as human
shields, and killing anyone who does not support their “horrific crimes.”
Over the
past few days, dozens of insurgents have also been killed by the Syrian troops
in the capital, Damascus, and the western city of Homs.
Many
people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the
turmoil in Syria that began in March 2011.
The
anti-Syria Western regimes have been calling for President Bashar al-Assad to
step down, but Russia and China remain strongly opposed to the Western drive to
oust the Syrian president.
On Wednesday,
President Assad said in a speech published by the official SANA news agency
that Syria is engaged in a “crucial and heroic” battle that will determine the
destiny of the nation.
“The enemy
is among us today, using agents to destabilize the country, the security of its
citizens… and continues to exhaust our economic and scientific resources,” he
stated.
President
Assad also pointed out that the Syrian “military remains the backbone of the
motherland.”
