Led by the 4th and 11th divisions, the Syrian Arab Army pushed southeast from Ithriya, targeting the hilltops surrounding the town of Marina.
Not long after launching this attack, the Syrian Arab Army managed to overrun the ISIS’s positions and seize all of the hilltops northern of Marina, resulting in the latter’s withdrawal from a number of nearby points.
The Syrian Army’s attack today is geared to secure the Ithriya-Raqqa Highway that is still in danger due to the ISIS’s presence to the south of the road.
