The latest SAA advance confirms that all reports about a deal between the SAA and ISIS fighters in the eastern Hama countryside pocket are false.
So far, the only confirmed deal was to evacuate women, children and elderlies to Idlib province on September 20.
Syrian pro-government sources revealed that most of the SAA Tiger Forces units were deployed to the Hama governorate.
It’s still unknown if these units will engage in the ongoing clashes with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in the northern Hama countryside, or in the SAA offensive against ISIS fighters in the eastern Hama countryside pocket.
