Syrian army troops have managed to retake two key villages in the province of Aleppo from Daesh terrorists, inflicting heavy losses on the foreign-backed Takfiri militants. 

The Syrian troops retook control of al-Abboudiyeh village to the southeast of the recently-liberated Ein al-Bayda village as well as al-Ajouziyeh village, 60 kilometers to the east of Aleppo city, Syria’s official news agency, SANA, said.

Meanwhile, the army struck heavy blows at Daesh in al-Bab, Arran, Qiter, al-Mifilseh and Wadiaa in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, destroying the terrorists’ vehicles, positions and weapons.

The terrorists also suffered heavy losses and casualties in al-Mansourah village in the western countryside of Aleppo.

The Syrian forces also killed an unspecified number of terrorists and destroyed militants’ weapons and ammunition during mop-up operations in several neighborhoods of Aleppo city.

Elsewhere, the Syrian army and popular forces took control of all the hills overlooking the road between the towns of al-Mahsa and al-Qaryatayn in the southeastern countryside of Homs, killing and inuring an unspecified number of Daesh terrorists.

The recapture cuts off one of the terrorists’ major supply routes, a military source said.

Syrian forces have been battling terrorist militants on different fronts throughout Syria since March 2011, when the foreign-sponsored militancy began. Over 260,000 people have been killed during the past few years of turmoil while millions of others have been displaced.
