Destroyed buildings in Deir Hafer, Aleppo Governorate
The whole Aleppo province has been liberated from Islamic State
terrorists, General Samir Suleiman, head of information for the Syrian
Arab Army, confirmed to RT. "Syria's Army has entirely liberated Aleppo
- both the city and the province.
ISIS is not in the province anymore,"
General Suleiman told RT over the phone. Earlier on Friday, the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said that Islamic State (IS, formerly
ISIS/ISIL) fighters have abandoned the last area they held in Aleppo
province.
The withdrawal came after government forces dislodged militants from the
Ithriya-Rasafa road and areas east of Khanaser, Reuters reported,
citing the media unit of Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group, which is an
ally of the Syrian Army. General Suleiman confirmed the liberation of
the road.
