The popular fighters won back Tal Rifat strategic city in the Northern part of Aleppo province.
Scores of terrorists were killed and injured as the army was purging them from the newly captured areas in Aleppo province.
The Syrian army, popular forces and resistance
forces also continued their military gains in other key provinces across
Syria, inflicting heavy losses on them.
Aleppo
The Syrian Kurdish fighters, known as the People’s
Protection Units (YPG), continued to advance against the militant
groups in the Northern part of Aleppo near the newly-liberated city of
Tal Rifat and won back five more villages after killing a top militant
commander in the strategic overnight.
"The Kurdish fighters drove the militant groups
back from their positions in the villages of Ahras, Ein Daqnah, Sheikh
Halal, Masqan, Sawama'a Jabraein and Kafar Naya after pushing the
terrorists back from Tel Rifat in Northern Aleppo province last night,"
sources said.
"Hakim Hadbah Abu Ali, one of the senior
commanders of Jeish al-Fatah terrorist group in the Northern
battlefields of Aleppo, was killed in the battle with the Kurdish
fighters in Tal Rifat," the sources added.
"The militant groups left behind scores of dead
and wounded members and fled the battlefront to evade more casualties,"
they went on to say.
"In the meantime, the Syrian army and its allies
seized back a key village in the Eastern part of Aleppo province," the

Abu Zaneh hilltop and the surrounding farms which are only 300 meters
