LATAKIA Evan Engram Giants Jersey , Syria, May 27 (Xinhua) -- They withstood heavy shelling and several suicide bombings for almost a month, but when they heard the drilling sound beneath them, hundreds of soldiers realized that it was about time to make an escape from their last facility in a northwestern city before the rebels could detonate a network of booby-trapped tunnels under them.


"We decided to withdraw from the National Hospital when we realized that the militants were digging tunnels beneath the hospital to blow it up. We used to hear the drilling sounds almost on daily basis and each day the sound would be heard under different rooms in what appeared to be the militants moving forward in their drilling," Ali, a Syrian soldier told Xinhua at the military hospital of Latakia city Eli Manning Giants Jersey , where most of the Syrian soldiers who succeeded to withdraw from the National Hospital of the rebel-held Jisr al-Shughour city were taken.


Ali said the militants told them to surrender almost every day during the month-long siege "but we paid no heed to their warnings and threats."


"However when we heard the digging, we knew that we could do nothing about it and that we had to leave because we would either be killed in a possible blast or buried under the rubble," he said.


Escaping the National Hospital of Jisr al-Shughour city in the countryside of the northwestern province of Idlib was nearly impossible, as the facility was under siege from all directions by the militants, after the downfall of the entire city in April. The al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and likeminded groups hadn't spared a chance to storm the facility and capture the soldiers and officers inside, either by heavy shelling Saquon Barkley Giants Jersey , or sending suicide car bombers to rip through the gates.


But their attempts were rendered flat due to the strong fortification of the hospital and the good amount of ammunition the soldiers stored inside.


Between 450 and 500 soldiers and civilians were holed up in that hospital, which was subject to heavy shelling and explosions.


On May 22, the official Syrian TV said the Syrian army unit inside the hospital broke the month-long rebel siege, managing to secure a way out for tens of trapped soldiers to reach the nearest military point in Idlib under heavy fire cover by the Syrian air force and artillery.


The soldiers who reached the military points in Idlib were later taken to the military hospital of the coastal city of Latakia.
