The Syrian army’s Tiger Forces and the National Defense Forces (NDF) allegedly retook the Sous Hill and the village of Umm al-Mara from ISIS terrorists in the province of Aleppo, according to pro-government sources.
The Sous Hill is located directly north of the ISIS-held town of Deir Hafer and Umm al-Mara is south of the ISIS stronghold.
If confirmed, the Tiger Forces and the NDF besieged Deir Haffer from 3 directions, putting ISIS units in the area in a very complicated situation.
Deir Hafer is a strategic ISIS defense site in the province which allows terrorist group to prevent government forces from advancing further along the Lake of Assad.
