Some 41 terrorists were killed and around 10 others were wounded in the ambush, some of whom were Saudi, Qatari and Iraqi nationalities, according to a field commander.
He pointed out that automatic rifles, home-made grenades, Israeli-made anti-tank rockets, BKC machine guns and RPG launchers were destroyed in the operation.
The commander noted that over the past period, seven ambushes were carried out in the region resulting in the deaths of several terrorists who were trying to infiltrate the eastern Gouta region to back up the armed terrorist groups who had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Assad's soldiers.
Meanwhile, an army unit ambushed an armed terrorist group on Tal Treireh-Kanaker road, killing and injuring many members, in addition to seizing a truck containing weapons and ammunition, including anti-tank mines, automatic rifles, BKC machine guns and RPGs launchers.
