Al-Bab city is used by the ISIL as the main route to smuggle stolen oil cargos to Turkey.

Also, field sources said that the Syrian army and Hezbollah forces along with their allies have started advance towards the strategic city of Tal Rafat in the Northern parts of Aleppo province, Northeast of the recently freed town of Nubl.
