The Syrian Army completed deployment at the strategic hill of al-Eiss in Aleppo’s southern countryside after defeating terrorists in the area and canvassing it along with the nearby town.

The hill is important for providing fire control over the entire surrounding area up to the Aleppo-Hama highway.

According to a statement by the Army and Armed Forces General Command, the army units operating in Idlib and Aleppo provinces regained control over 6002 km and liberated dozens of villages, towns and strategic hills.

The statement added that the army units continued their field advance to eliminate terrorist organizations which have escalated their acts of aggression through targeting the safe residential areas and the civilians with rocket shells, escalated their provocative measures against the civilians, continued to prevent them from leaving terrorist-held areas and took them as human shields.

The Syrian Army achieved significant field advance as the forces deployed in Idlib eastern countryside have met the forces advancing from the direction of southern Aleppo, reestablishing control over an area of about 600 square km and liberating tens of villages, towns and strategic hills, the statement added.

The statement further underlined that the attempts of the states-sponsored terrorism will not succeed in stopping the increasing collapse among the ranks of those terrorist organizations, asserting that the Syrian Army will continue to carry out its duties in liberating every inch of the Syrian territories from terrorism.
