‘100 Daesh terrorists in Syria flee toward Jordan border’

At least 100 members of the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group have fled from Syria’s southwestern province of Dara’a toward Jordan’s border areas after losing ground to advancing Syrian army troops, a monitor says.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the development on Thursday, adding that the Daesh terrorists had escaped from the Yarmouk Base in in Dara’a toward the villages of Beit Ara and Koya, located in the vicinity of Jordan’s border.

The report added that the terrorists were using local inhabitants of the rural areas as human shields against alleged airstrikes by the Syrian military. It further said that dozens of Daesh terrorists had already surrendered to Syrian government troops, and some 30 others had been executed by the terror outfit itself.
