Syria: ISIL Terrorists Withdraw from more Towns in Eastern Aleppo
The Army soldiers deployed in their positions near the towns of Abu Jadheh Saqir and al-Qithe Sharqi stormed ISIL’s strongholds in the towns of Abu Had Kabir and Al-Rouqiyeh along the road to al-Khafseh and won control over the towns.
Field sources said that tens of ISIL terrorists were killed or wounded in the army attack.
They added that the pro-government forces are now advancing towards the ISIL-held towns of Um al-Azm and Mastariheh.
A source in Northern Syria said earlier today that the army troops managed to capture more territories near al-Khafseh town, inching closer to Lake Assad, the main drinking water reservoir of Aleppo city.
The source said that the army men pushed back ISIL terrorists from more strongholds and deployed in a region only 7km away from al-Khafseh town and 6km from the main water pumping facilities close to Lake Assad.
Aleppo city’s water pumping facilities are located South of al-Khafseh town.
The source also said that the army troops’ control over the Northern and Northeastern regions of Deir Hafer has given the government forces’ military control over the town, adding that the government forces have also decreased distance to al-Jarrah airport East of Deir Hafer.
