TEHRAN (FNA)- At least fourteen people were set free by the Syrian army forces, in a joint operation with security forces, from an al-Nusra Front prison in a town West of Dara�a province, local sources said Wednesday.

Syrian newspaper Al Watan quoted a local source as saying that the prisoners were saved from the terrorist group�s dungeon in the town of Seida in Dara�a Province.

The source said a majority of the prisoners are members of the Syrian Army.

Meanwhile, a London-based group deemed close to Syrian militants confirmed the report and accused some militants in the Copra detention center, located between Kahil and Seida, of helping the Syrian Army forces, in the operation to release the detainees from the al-Nusra Front prison.

The development came as the Syrian military forces ,yesterday, hit the strongholds of the al-Nusra Front hard in Dara'a neighborhoods and near a town in the Western Dara'a Province, leaving scores of the militants dead or wounded.

The Syrian army men's anti-terrorism attacks on al-Nusra positions near the town of al-Yadouda ended in the killing or wounding of dozens of terrorists and meantime destroyed their military hardware.
