BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:20 A.M.) – Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and local militias imposed full control over the Salamiyah-Ithriya Highway today after reversing the Islamic State’s gains in the eastern countryside of Hama.
Led by the 11th Tank Division, the Syrian Arab Army broke-through the Islamic State’s front-lines along the only points the latter controlled on the Salamiyah-Ithriya Highway.
Following a short battle this morning, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies liberated the area in order to reopen this important highway that links to the government’s only supply line to Aleppo.
According to local activists, the Salamiya-Ithriya Highway has now been reopened today after the Islamic State withdrew from the area.
