ISIL seizes Syrian town from Turkish-backed terrorists
Militants from the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group have seized a key town in northern Syria from Turkish-backed militants.
According to the reports, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Daesh took control of al-Rai along the Turkish border on Monday morning after intense fighting with other militants in the town.
The news comes four days after Deash lost control of al-Rai to other terrorist groups, including al-Nusra Front, which is al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch.
Al-Rai, located in Aleppo Province, is a main supply route for Daesh. The Syrian army, backed by Russian aerial cover, seeks to purge the northern province of all Takfiri terrorists.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Nader al-Halqi said the Syrian army is gearing up to liberate Aleppo.
“We, together with our Russian partners, are preparing for an operation to liberate Aleppo and to block all illegal armed groups which have not joined or have broken the ceasefire deal,” he said.
