Five government forces were also injured in clashes that broke out on Thursday with a terrorist group in the town of Arminaz, the official SANA news agency reported.
The group has reportedly been attacking citizens and law enforcement personnel, and vandalizing public and private properties in Arminaz.
A provincial source said tens of terrorists were killed or injured in the fighting, among them was the terrorist Adnan al-Sattouf, who was wanted for a multitude of crimes.
Elsewhere in Idlib, military engineering units detonated three explosive devices, each weighing around 40 kg, planted by an armed terrorist group on Nahlia crossroads in Jabal al-Arbaeen area.
The huge masses of explosives were reportedly equipped with remote control devices and could not be dismantled.
Meanwhile in the largest city of Aleppo, two terrorists on a booby-trapped motorcycle blew themselves up near Salaheddin Mosque in Sheikh Maksoud neighborhood, injuring four civilians.
Since mid-March 2011, Syria has been experiencing a deadly unrest that has claimed the lives of many people, including large numbers of security forces.
While the West and the Syrian opposition say the government is responsible for the killings, Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
