The Syrian army killed and wounded scores of the ISIS militants in Aleppo province.

The terrorist groups also sustained heavy casualties in other key provinces across Syria.

Aleppo

The Syrian Army and popular forces have taken back more strongholds from the militant groups in Northern Aleppo enabling them to take yet another major stride in completing siege of the terrorists on the Northern side of Aleppo, military sources said Tuesday.

"The Syrian army continued to advance against the militant groups along al-Lairamoun-Sheihan road and the countdown has started for the complete cut off of the only supply route of the terrorists in Castillo region," the sources said.

"The Syrian warplanes, artillery and missile units, for their part, targeted heavily the militants' strongholds in Bani Zeid and al-Lairamoun near the highway to Turkish border," they said, adding, "The defense lines of Nouralddeen Zinki terrorist group in Jami' yeh al-Zahra were also attacked by the Syrian soldiers."

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), in their mop-up operation on the Southern side of the town of Manbij in Northeastern Aleppo, discovered a large depot of ISIS arms and ammunition left behind by the terrorist group.

The SDF fighters, who repelled heavy offensives of the ISIS from three flanks in the Southern countryside of Manbij, seized a large volume of weapons, ammunition, grenades, bombes and other explosive devices in battlefield.

The SDF, meantime, buried bodies of tens of the ISIS members killed in Manbij's Southern battlefield.

Homs

The Syrian fighter jets, in a fresh round of combat flights, targeted ISIS concentration centers in the Eastern and Northeastern territories of Homs province, leaving dozens of the terrorists dead or wounded.

The Syrian air force pounded one of the ISIS bases along the group's communication road in Western side of the village of Tal Omri, which ended in the killing of several militants and destruction of their military equipment.

ISIS gatherings in Southeastern side of the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur) were also attacked by the Syrian jet.

Raqqa

Sources in the ISIS-held city of Raqqa said that the terrorist group's security forces were looting houses and shops of those civilians who have left the city without the Takfiri group's permit.

"The ISIS has recently ordered its Hasaba (monitoring-security system) forces to seized the properties of those civilians who have left the city without gaining the group's permit," the media activists said, adding, "Previously, the people who wanted to leave Raqqa had to pay a lot of money to Hasaba as toll or they would introduce a sponsor."

Hama

The Syrian Army troops stormed a military column of the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front on a road on the Western side of the town of al-Salamiyah, inflicting major damage on terrorists' vehicles, provincial sources said Tuesday.

"The Al-Nusra's convoy of vehicles moving on the Taldara-al-Ramliyeh road came under attack by the Syrian military forces," the sources said, and added, "The terrorists' vehicles were severely damaged in the attacks and their supply line was cut for several hours."

The Syrian army repelled ISIS offensive in the Northeastern countryside of the town of Salamiyah after inflicting several casualties on the terrorists.

The Syrian army men fended off ISIS assaults on the pro-government forces' strongholds near the village of al-Maboujeh, which claimed the lives of several militants and destroyed the military equipment.
