Syrian government forces, backed up by the Russian Aerospace Forces, have recaptured the village of Zakhrutiyah from ISIS in the eastern Hama countryside.
The ISIS pocket in the area of Uqayribat is radiply shrinking under the pressure of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies. Now, government forces are focusing on isolating Uqayribat from the northern flank. After this, the SAA will likely start storming the ISIS-held town.
Earlier this week, the SAA and other pro-government groups liberated Mukaymen, Maksar Janubi, Qastal Shamali, Qastal Wastani and Qastal Janubi.

Against the SAA, the ISIS rats will always lose, no PR victory.
Not only the ISIS rats. Others will learn their lesson too when the time is up.
Remember, he who hesitates is lost.
