BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:40 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their offensive operations in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, Saturday, targeting the Islamic State’s (ISIL) defenses around the Maskanah Plain.
Led by their elite Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army launched a new attack inside the northern part of the Maskanah Plain, striking the Islamic State’s positions at the Tal Hassan Train Station.
Within hours of launching their attack, the Syrian Arab Army’s Tiger Forces took control of the farms surrounding the Sugar Factory, while also liberating the entire Tal Hassan Train Station after a fierce battle with the Islamic State.
The seizure of the Tal Hassan Train Station, today, has allowed the Syrian Arab Army to build a buffer-zone around the Deir Hafer Plain, which was fully liberated once the Jirah Airbase was captured earlier this month.
