"Army units took over Ras al-Ain, southwest of Yabrud, killing a large number of terrorists," said SANA, using the regime's termi**logy to refer to rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad. State television meanwhile broadcast live images from Ras al-Ain, showing village women wearing Islamic headscarves and traditional clothing dancing with joy. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the takeover, and said the army was backed by Leba**n's Shiite Hezbollah and the paramilitary National Defence Forces.
