The Syrian Armed Forces have taken control over a strategically important highway in the north of the country, a military source told RIA Novosti 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 were eliminated. Mine clearance specialists have started to demine explosive devices," the source said.
Terrorists have controlled the highway during 10 days.
The Syrian army continued its countrywide operations against jihadists, liberating more villages and destroying terrorist infrastructure.Late October, the Syrian government forces with the support of militia fighters liberated 50 villages in the south-east of Aleppo province.
Comment: Head choppers took control over the Syrian Army's main supply route but voila,
problem solved!
...ISIS just seized a critical section of the Aleppo-Khanasser highway, cutting off the government's supply-lines to Aleppo. This is a serious problem, but it is not a problem that can't be overcome nor is it a problem that will effect the outcome of the war. It's just one of the obstacles that has to be dealt with and surpassed. Taking a broader view, the outlook is much more encouraging for the Russian-led coalition which continues to cut off supply-lines, blow up ammo dumps and fuel depots, and rapidly eviscerate the ability of the enemy to wage war. So, while the war is certainly not a walk in the park, there's no doubt about who's going to win.
