International Military Review - Syria-Iraq Battlespace,
It took almost two weeks for the Syrian forces to liberate the
Khanasser-Ithriya highway. Nonetheless, they were finally able to secure
the remaining territory along the strategic supply route that had been
captured by ISIS.
On Wednesday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Hezbollah, the National
Defense Forces (NDF) and the Palestinian pro-government militia “Liwaa
Al-Quds” broke-through ISIS’ remaining frontlines to the north of
Ithriya and conducted a massive retreat of the militants to the town of
Tabaqa in the Al-Raqqa province. Separately, the terrorists retreating
along the Salamiyah-Raqqa highway came under attack from the Russian Air
Force’s SU-24 fighter jets.
