On Monday, the Syrian Army and the National Defense Forces (NDF) launched a fresh advance against ISIS terrorists in south of the government-held town of Ithriyah in the province of Hama.
According to pro-govenrment sources, the army and the NDF captured the villages of al-Hijanah and Rasm al-Tina. Government troops also attacked ISIS units near Barghutiyah located east of the government-held city of Salamiyah.
A success in this area may allow the army and the NDF to clear the road between Salamiyah and the Tiyas Airbase (located at the Homss-Palmyra highway).
