AhlulBayt News Agency - The Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division, alongside the Desert Hawks, Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), National Defense Forces (NDF), and Syrian Marines, liberated a new hilltop along the Salamiyah-Raqqa Highway this morning after a violent battle with the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).
According to a military source from the Desert Hawks, the Syrian Armed Forces liberated Tal SyriaTel from the ISIS militants after breaking through the latter’s last line of defense before Abu Allaj village.
On Thursday, the Syrian Armed Forces captured Abu Allaj, but were forced to retreat after the ISIS terrorists launched a counter-offensive to reclaim this village and several points near the Abu Zayn Mountains.
The Syrian Armed Forces are one again in position to strike the IS’s defenses at Abu Allaj village; however, small dust storms keep slowing down the government units in west Raqqa.
