A major offensive against militant groups has been launched by the Syrian Army and the popular Forces in Northeastern Lattakia province, after liberating Kinsibba and their goal is to advance into neighboring Idlib Province.

In Hasaka, Clans fighters and popular defense forces established control over al-Shadadi city 60 km south of Hasaka city after entering the city and engaging in violent clashes with ISIS terrorists who were positioned in it, killing many of the terrorists and sending dozens more fleeing, leaving their weapons and munitions behind.

In Hasaka , The town of al-Shadadi comes under siege by the Kurdish forces after they took full control of a large number of villages there, informed sources announced.

"The Kurdish fighters captured ten villages, including Zahra Olia, Zahra Sofla and Um Hojra villages just three kilometers from al-Shadadi towns," the sources said, FNA reported Friday.

In a relevant development on Wednesday, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Kurdish “People’s Protection Units” (YPG) in a striking attack in Northeastern Syria on Thursday forced the ISIL terrorist group to retreat from vast regions in the Eastern parts of Hasaka Province.

The SDF and YPG won back the Assyrian-populated village of Al-Kharitah, also known as Gesaya, and four nearby villages around al-Hawl in Hasaka Province in a surprise attack as their other units have been striking hard at the ISIL, Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham and other terrorist groups in the Northern parts of Aleppo province in Northwestern Syria in conjunction with the Damascus army, National Defense Forces and Hezbollah.

The YPG Kurds have recently bonded with the Damascus government. The Syrian army sent several arms cargoes to the YPG troops in the Northeastern province of Hasaka and trained the first group of Kurdish volunteer forces in the provincial capital city of Hasaka last week.

Assisted by the Syrian army - that has along with popular forces and Hezbollah conquered almost all militant-held regions in Eastern, Southern, Western and Northwestern Aleppo province - and Russian air support, the Kurdish forces fighting against the terrorists in North-Northeast Aleppo province have been making striking advances against the Al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and ISIL terrorists in February.
