Government forces, led by the Syrian army’s Tiger Forces, have captured the village of Al-Qusayr and the nearby train station in the province of Aleppo, according to pro-government sources. Al-Qusayr and the train station are located south of the ISIS-held city of Deir Hafer.
As SF predicted, government troops continued flanking of Deir Hafer from the southern direction in order to encircle the ISIS-held city.
The tactical goal of government forces is to cut-off the N4 Highway heading linking Aleppo, Deir Hafer and the Jirah Airbase.
