The SAA has so far managed to capture 500 square kilometers in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
The SAA will likely continue its advance after capturing Maskana town until it reaches the area controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces near Tabqah town.
The SAA is also expected to launch a limited attack from the Al-Sha’er gas field towards the town of Athria in the northeastern Hama countryside aiming to secure the entire eastern Hama countryside and the strategic Shomriya mountains in the eastern Homs countryside, which witnessed very violent clashes between the SAA and ISIS during the past few days .
