The terrorist groups in different parts of Syria are facing the army and its allies' advance following several ultimatums to leave the region.

In Aleppo Syrian Army soldiers repelled an attack of an ISIS-affiliated group of terrorists to block a main supply line of government forces to Aleppo province in the Northeastern side of the town of al-Salamiyah in Hama province, killing the entire members of the militant group.

The army soldiers fended off terrorists' offensive on its positions in Wadi al-Adhib region along the al-Saboureh-Ithriya road, killing the entire militants and destroying their arms and equipment.

Also in the past 24 hours, Commandos of the Desert Hawks Brigade along with a supply of TOW missiles and several T90 tanks arrived in the Northern province of Aleppo to join other army units in the fierce battle against the terrorist groups in the region, military sources said.

"Simultaneous with the arrival of the Syrian Special Forces, a number of the Syrian Army's T90 tanks arrived in Aleppo battlefields," the sources said.

In Damascus syrian army troops and National Defense Forces continue to hit the positions of Fatah al-Sham Front (formerly known as the al-Nusra Front) in Western Ghouta, and Jeish al-Islam in Eastern Ghouta.
