BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a massive counter-offensive in the southern countryside of Al-Raqqa this morning, striking the Islamic State’s (ISIL) defenses at the villages the aforementioned terrorist group captured yesterday.
Led by the Nabhan Group of the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army stormed the Islamic State’s positions, killing scores of terrorists to avenge their losses on Thursday.
According to a military source in the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army has now recovered 80 percent of the territory they lost to the Islamic State, including the village of Abu Ghannam in the southern countryside of the Al-Raqqa Governorate.
The source added that most of the losses the pro-government forces suffered yesterday were from the Raqqawi tribesmen; they were tasked with protecting the Syrian Army’s recently captured territory.
