The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Fores have reportedly liberated the village of Khirbat Madinat al-Far located southwest of the strategic ISIS-held town of Maskanah in the province of Aleppo.
According to pro-government sources, the Tiger Forces entered Khirbat Madinat al-Far and engaged ISIS terrorists in Jida Kabirah.
If reports are confirmed, this will mean that govenrment forces are aiming to cut off the N4 Highway south of Maskanah and to ecnircle the ISIS stronghold.
On the other hand, this move may push ISIS units to withdraw from the town before the SAA fully encircles them.
