The Syrian Armed Forces have taken control over a strategically important highway in the north of the country, a military source told on Wednesday.
The highway is connecting the cities of Aleppo and Al-Salamiyah in the Syrian province of Hama. Moreover, the highway is the main supply route for the Syrian government army in the city of Aleppo.
“After fierce fighting with ISIL terrorists, the [Syrian] army has taken full control over the Aleppo-Ithriya-Khanasser-Salamiyah highway. Dozens of terrorists have been eliminated. Mine clearance specialists have started to demine explosive devices,” the source said.
Terrorists controlled the highway for 10 days.
