Syrian forces recapture two key villages in Aleppo
Syrian army troops have managed to retake two key villages in the province of Aleppo from Daesh terrorists, inflicting heavy losses on the foreign-backed Takfiri militants.
The Syrian troops retook control of al-Abboudiyeh village to the southeast of the recently-liberated Ein al-Bayda village as well as al-Ajouziyeh village, 60 kilometers to the east of Aleppo city, Syria’s official news agency, SANA, said.
Meanwhile, the army struck heavy blows at Daesh in al-Bab, Arran, Qiter, al-Mifilseh and Wadiaa in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, destroying the terrorists’ vehicles, positions and weapons.
The terrorists also suffered heavy losses and casualties in al-Mansourah village in the western countryside of Aleppo.
The Syrian forces also killed an unspecified number of terrorists and destroyed militants’ weapons and ammunition during mop-up operations in several neighborhoods of Aleppo city.
Elsewhere, the Syrian army and popular forces took control of all the hills overlooking the road between the towns of al-Mahsa and al-Qaryatayn in the southeastern countryside of Homs, killing and inuring an unspecified number of Daesh terrorists.
The recapture cuts off one of the terrorists’ major supply routes, a military source said.
Syrian forces have been battling terrorist militants on different fronts throughout Syria since March 2011, when the foreign-sponsored militancy began. Over 260,000 people have been killed during the past few years of turmoil while millions of others have been displaced.
