"33 of our members were killed and nearly 120 more were wounded in heavy fighting with the Syrian soldiers in battlefields of the coastal province of Lattakia and the Northern province of Aleppo," the terrorist group announced.

Military experts say the Syrian government forces are on the verge of complete victory over the terrorist groups in al-Malaah battlefield in Northern Aleppo.

"The Syrian army commanders knew that the terrorist groups of Nouriddeen al-Zinki, Faylaq al-Sham, Ajnad al-Sham, Ahrar al-Sham, Turkistani movement and al-Nusra Front have gathered over 2,000 fighters in al-Malaah region and planned to use a large number of suicide bomb-laden vehicles to push the government forces' back from their positions," the experts said.

"The army commanders opened a temporary gate in the battlefield via pulling back their soldiers in parts of their first line of defense. The terrorist groups, who thought the army's retreat is real did not use their suicide attackers and entered the trap of the army commanders."

"As soon as the terrorist groups passed the opening, the army soldiers closed it and the other units of the army, including artillery, mortar and missile units shelled the trapped terrorists, which ended in the killing of at least 150 of them in one spot in one night," they further added.

"The army did this tactic several times in different battlefields on Thursday night, which ended in weakening the terrorist groups' combat abilities and the army's further advances in Southern farms of al-Malaah region capturing positions only two kilometers away from Castillo highway, very important supply line of terrorist groups in Aleppo city to the border regions with Turkey," FNA reported.
