Since the start of Operation Basalt in the southern province of Daraa on June 18, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies have liberated 1,150 km2 from militants.
Government forces have retaken control of large areas east, south and west of the city of Daraa delivering a blow to radical armed groups, like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, and forcing more or less moderate militant factions to accept a series of reconciliation deals.
One of the key gains of the operation is full liberation of Daraa city, the southern part of which used to be controlled by militants until this week.
