In the footage published in a Daily Mail report on Tuesday, a group of heavily armed Israeli commandos can be seen crossing over into the Syrian territory and dragging a wounded militant to the occupied Palestinian territories, where they treat him and move him to an ambulance, Press TV reported.
According to the report, the Israeli regime has saved over 2,000 Takfiri militants at the cost of around USD 13 million over the last three years.
Syria says Israel and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri militant groups operating inside the Arab country.
The Syrian army has repeatedly seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed militants inside Syria.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War of 1967, when it also took control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, although the move was never recognized by the international community and was a violation of international law.
Syrian Army Makes Massive Gains in Northeastern Lattakia
On Monday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Qurdaha, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), and Muqawama Souri (Syrian Resistance) – began their large-scale assault in Jabal Al-Akrad (Kurdish Mountains) by imposing full control over Burj Al-Qasab; this paved the way for the pro-government forces to capture several sites after taking control of this village.
Following the capture of Burj Al-Qasab, the Syrian Armed Forces launched a massive assault on the strategic village of ‘Ikko, striking militants’ defenses from two different flanks before imposing full control over this mountaintop site located near the town of Kabani.
Not long after capturing ‘Ikko, the Syrian Armed Forces seized the small villages of Bouz Al-Khirbat, Beit Fares, and Al-Mughayriyah after a series of skirmishes with the terrorists near the Idlib province’s western border with Lattakia.
The Syrian Armed Forces would round out the day by taking control of Point 1154 and Point 1112 near the southern perimeter of Kabani; this leaves the pro-government forces in position to strike this important village.
In a matter of 4 days, the Syrian Armed Forces have seized over 100 square kilometers from terrorists in Northeastern Latakia; this is likely to increase in the coming days as the pro-government forces eye the rebel stronghold of Salma.
In recent days, the Syrian Air Forces have conducted sorties against Al-Nusra Front militants holed up in the Lebanese town of Arsal.
The town has been a hotbed for Islamists in Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces have no control over it.
It is strategically located near the Syrian border and has been the site of a growing campaign to remove the militants from the town.
It has been reported that an Al-Nusra Front commander and Abu Fares Al-Jubba of the Free Syrian Army Liwa Ahrar Qalamoun Brigade, along with 9 other terrorists were killed by shelling in Wadi Al-Khayl on the outskirts of Arsal. No one is yet to claim responsibility for this action, but rumors circulating suggest it was Hezbollah.

Syrian Warplanes Stage Bombing Raid on Terrorists in Al-Qalamoun
The Syrian airstrikes left at least 18 terrorists dead many more injured in Al-Qalamoun region.
