BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:25 A.M.) – Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army seized another village in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, leaving the Islamic State terrorist organization with their backs against the wall at the strategic city of Deir Hafer.
According to Al-Masdar’s northern Syria correspondent, Yusha Yuseef, the Syrian Arab Army’s “Tiger Forces” liberated the village of Rasm Al-Hermel Al-Khabaz, cutting the Islamic State’s northern supply route to their stronghold of Deir Hafer in east Aleppo.
Yuseef reported that Deir Hafer is now officially cut from three different axes, which means the Syrian Arab Army has fire control over this strategic city located west of the Euphrates River and Al-Raqqa Governorate.
Today’s advance was backed by the Russian Air Force, who launched nonstop airstrikes over the Deir Hafer Plain for the last 12 hours, causing great damage to the Islamic State’s defenses around the city.
