Pro-governent forces, led by the Syrian army’s Tiger Forces, liberated the village of Rasm al-Harmel located near the ISIS stronghold of Deir Hafer in the province of Aleppo.
Clashes between the Tiger Forces and ISIS terrorists were also reported near Ahmadiyah, Harmal and Zubaydah.
The ongoing operation is clearly aimed at flankig Deir Hafer from the southern direction and encircling this ISIS stronghold.
Earlier this week, the Tiger Forces liberated Tal Ahmar, Asimiyah, Qarin, Hazazah, Tal Ayyub and Um Zulaylah in the same area.
