BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:45 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) renewed their offensive in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, today, Â striking the Islamic State’s (ISIL) positions at the northern part of the Maskanah Plain.
Led by the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army attacked the villages of Quwas and Al-Hamra in east Aleppo; this resulted in a fierce battle that would ensue for a short period of time this morning.
Unable to hold the villages, the Islamic State militants were forced to retreat south of Quwas and Al-Hamra in order to avoid being overrun by the swarming soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army’s Tiger Forces.
With the capture of Quwas and Al-Hamra, the Syrian Arab Army has now liberated 13 villages in east Aleppo over the last 72 hours.
