Syrian
Army, Allies Advancing Towards Aleppo-Raqqa Border
TEHRAN
(FNA)- Military sources said that the Syrian Army troops and their
popular allies have significantly advanced against the ISIL
terrorists in the Southeastern parts of Aleppo province and are
moving towards the Euphrates and its nearby regions in Raqqa
province.
"The
Syrian army, Liwa al-Quds (Jerusalem Brigade), the National Defense
Forces (NDF) and Kataebat al-Ba’ath (Al-Ba’ath Battalions have
secured the Southern bank of Al-Hamourat Lake in Southeastern Aleppo,
while also making a substantial advance towards al-Maskanah Plain,"
the sources said.
"Al-Maskanah
Plain is located along the Western bank of the Euphrates River (Lake
Assad part), near the Jirah Military Airport and the Tabaqa Dam and
Military Airport," the sources added.
"The
area around Lake Assad is deeply entrenched with ISIL fighters and it
has barely been threatened by any force in the last two years – so
the Syrian Armed Forces will have their hands full," they said.
On
Thursday, one of the main headquarters of the ISIL terrorist group
was captured by the Syrian army and popular forces in the Northern
province of Aleppo.
Durahim
hill was one of the biggest military bases of the ISIL in the
Northeastern parts of Khanasser town whose full control was won back
by the Syrian forces.
Before
the achievement, the Syrian army, volunteer troops and Hezbollah
managed to retake full control of five villages near the town of
Khanasser in Aleppo.
The
Syrian army continued its advances in the Northern province by taking
back the villages of Zabad, Touba, al-A'la, al-Hayat al-Saqira and
al-Hayat al-Kabira in the Northeastern parts of the strategic town of
Khanasser.
Tens
of ISIL militants were killed and wounded during the operations and
their vehicles and weapons were destroyed.

ISIL Militants Retreating towards Raqqa under Heavy Offensives of
Gov't Forces
TEHRAN
(FNA)- The recent victories of the Syrian Army and the popular forces
in the Southeastern territories of Aleppo province have left no
choice for the ISIL but to pull forces back from the battlefields to
neighboring Raqqa province, battlefield sources said.
"Over
the past few days, the ISIL defense lines in Southeastern Aleppo has
completely collapsed as government troops keep pushing towards ISIL
in Raqqah province," the sources said.
"Within
days, government troops recaptured the Khanasser-Aleppo road;
meanwhile, ISIL forces lost hundreds of their fighters. Subsequently,
the ISIL now suffers from inadequate manpower in the region.
Meanwhile, the 4th Mechanized Division has received reinforcements
from elsewhere in the Aleppo governorate," the sources added.
"The
ISIL has now set up a new defensive line East of Jabboul Lake. By
doing so, ISIL commanders intend to prevent the Syrian army from
capturing Deir Hader, Tabqa Airbase and Jirah Airbase," the
sources said.
"If
the aforementioned sites are lost to the Syrian government forces,
ISIL will be expelled from Northern Syria and will be forced to set
up a desperate last stance defense at Raqqa city itself," the
sources went on to say.
Raqqa
is the self-proclaimed capital of the ISIL.
On
Thursday, the Syrian army and popular forces, supported by Hezbollah
fighters, restored full security to the last chunk of
Khanasser-Aleppo-Ithriya road.
The
Syrian Army and Hezbollah fighters stormed the positions of ISIL
militants across the vitally strategic road connecting Hama's Ithriya
to Aleppo's Khanasser and seized its full control in November.
