Syria government repels ISIS attack in Aleppo province

Syria's military said its troops and allied fighters repelled Saturday an attack by ISIS group on a strategic area held by the government in southern Aleppo province.

 

The attack took place in Khanaser, southeast Aleppo—a strategic region that links Aleppo with central and western Syria. The area has changed hands many times during the conflict. But last year, government troops and allied fighters wrested control of Khanaser from ISIS.

 

The military media arm said ISIS attacked Um Mayyal village near a mountain range in Khanaser and other areas. The opposition Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says ISIS fighters launched the attack on military posts in the area, triggering intense clashes and leaving many casualties.
