Syrian Army captures Al-Abjar Hill along Hama-Raqqa border

The Syrian Army (SA), alongside the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Liwaa Al-Quds (Palestinian paramilitary), resumed their military operations in northeastern Hama, Sunday, targeting the Islamic State’s (ISIL) positions near the government-held town of Ithriya.

According to the official media wing of the National Defense Forces, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies liberated the Al-Abjar Hill this morning after a fierce battle with the Islamic State terror organization along the Hama-Raqqa provincial axis.

No further details were released regarding today’s operation.

The Syrian Arab Army is currently in the process of clearing the Salamiyah-Raqqa Road, as they look to secure the pathway between the the two towns of Ithriya and Resafa.
