Alwaght- Syrian national army attacked terrorist and militant groups in some villages near the northern city of Aleppo and managed to liberate them on Friday.
The Manyan village, west of Aleppo was fully liberated after days of fierce fighting with the terrorists, the Syrian official SANA news agency cited a military source as saying.
Dahiyat al-Assad village was also liberated, the source added.
Aleppo has been divided since 2012 between government forces in the west and militants in the east. Backed by Russian air cover, the Syrian army launched operations to purge the militants from the city in September.
The Syrian army also destroyed a number of oil tankers used by the ISIS terrorists in the vicinity of Sha’af village, southeast of the city of Suwayda.
Oil trade is the main source of income for the terrorists with reports saying Turkey is buying oil from them.
Russia has repeatedly said it has evidence showing Turkey has been involved in the smuggling of oil from areas held by ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
