Syrian official says 'wide-scale offensive' launched
The article is talking about how a Syrian says there is a 'wide- scale offensive' launched. The reason for doing it was because the person wanted to eliminate terrorist groups to get back at them for the areas and towns that they have terrorised. Syrian army chief of staff Ayyoub is the person giving everyone the information of the attack but he wasn't clear on what area it was exactly suppose to hit at or the size and shape of the apparent launch. But something he did say that was important was that the role was being played by Russia, which appears they did that because they knew the Syrian was in badly need of help. Ayyoub said the following about the situation "following the Russian military airstrikes that diminished the fighting capacity of ISIS and other terrorist groups, the Syrian armed forces maintained their military initiative". I think it was very good that the government caught the man before the launch could have actually killed people so I'm happy to read that everything's okay and under control with the situation.
