Army Command calls on residents of towns in Raqqa southern countryside to return to their homes

Damascus, SANA – The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces called on the residents of the towns of Shenan, al-Sabkha and Jabli in the southern countryside of Raqqa to return to their homes on Thursday after the Syrian Arab Army have restored security and stability to those areas.

“The General Command of the Army and the Armed Forces calls on the citizens of the towns of Shenan, Sabkha and Jabli in the southern countryside of Raqqa to return to their homes and farms as of 10/8/2017 after the restoration of security and stability to them,” the Command said in a statement on Wednesday.

Over the past few weeks, the army units have restored security and stability to a number of villages and towns in the southern countryside of Raqqa, retaking dozens of oil and gas wells and managing to liberate about 30 km from the southern bank of the Euphrates River in a new military achievement in terms of cutting off ISIS supply routes between Raqqa and Deir Ezzor in order to break the siege on thousands of civilians who are trapped in Deir Ezzor.
