ISIS terrorists are reportedly retreating from the Maskanah plain in the eastern part of Aleppo province amid an increased military pressure from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces.
According to pro-government sources, on Friday, ISIS units allegedly retreated from a large area east of the al-Humorat Lake but kept their defenses inside the town of Maskanah. As a result, the SAA gained control over a large number of small settlements in the area.
Yesterday, the SAA cut off ISIS in these settlements from the ISIS striking force deployed in Maskanah, capturing Jadyaa Saghira, Jadyaa Kabira and the nearby silos. Thus, this retreat could be predicted.
