Units of the Syrian army destroyed dens and fortifications of terrorists in the area in response to the repeated violation of the de-escalation zones agreement in the region.
SANA reported from Hama that the army carried out artillery strikes on positions of terrorists in the surrounding of al-Hweiz village to the north of al-Ghab plain, killing and injuring scores of militants.
The army also struck fortifications of terrorists in the town of Kfar Zeita north of Hama.
Under a deal reached following a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in September 2018, all militants should have withdrawn from the demilitarization zone by October 15.
However, al-Qaeda-linked Takfiri terrorists said they refuse to either leave the buffer zone or hand over their weapons.
Moscow believed that the 15-20 kilometer buffer zone would help stop attacks from Idlib-based militants on Syrian army positions and Russia's military bases in the flashpoint region.
Idlib and some surrounding areas are the last major bastions of Takfiri terrorists and anti-government militants in Syria, where the Syrian government has in recent months retaken much of the territory it had lost since the conflict erupted in the country in 2011.
