The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) launched another counter-attack in the northern Aleppo countryside on Thursday that targeted several villages that were under the control of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Levantine Front (Jabhat Al-Shamiyah).
According to ISIS’ official media wing “Al-Amaq”, the terrorist group captured 4 villages from the rebel factions in northern Aleppo, forcing them to retreat to the outskirts of ‘Azaz.
Al-Amaq identified the villages that were captured by their terrorist forces as Tal Hussein, Tatiyah, Baryshah, and Janhat; these are all located to the east of ‘Azaz and only a few kilometers south of the Turkish border-crossing.
