Syrian Army captures several areas after intense battle with ISIS in northeast Hama

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) scored a new advance in the Hama countryside this week, liberating several areas that were under the control of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).

Led by the Republican Guard and 5th Legion, the Syrian Arab Army managed to capture the towns of Abiyan and Abu Qusour, along with the large hilltops of Tal Talihan and Tal Ma’asran in the northeastern countryside of Hama.

As a result of these advances, the Syrian Arab Army has made a big dent inside the Islamic State’s pocket, giving way to their forces to reach the Idlib axis in the coming days.
