Pro-government forces, led by the Syrian Arab Army Tiger Forces, have liberated the villages Jabir, Numaysah, Khamisiyah and Wadi Susah near the ISIS-held town of Maadan in the southern part of the province of Raqqah.
Government forces are attempting to cut ISIS terrorists in Maadan off from the rest of the ISIS force in the province prior to launching a direct storm of the town.
The similar strategy has been repeatedly implemented by the Syrian army and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in their operations against ISIS across the country.
