The army units stormed the positions of Al-Nusra and their affiliated terrorists and captured the village of Tal Mamou West of Kafr Hadad.

The army men further advanced against the Al-Nusra and imposed control over the strategic village of Jazraya.

Jazraya, located on the provincial border between Idlib and Aleppo, is a major junction town which commands many secondary (i.e. countryside) road routes that lead into and from both Syrian regions.

Earlier reports said that the army men stormed the Al-Nusra strongholds in Southern Aleppo and liberated the villages of Kafr Hadad, Ziyara al-Matakh, Warida, Zamar and Tal Warida.

The Al-Nusra suffered a number of casualties and its military hardware sustained major damage in the army advances.

The army men are pushing towards the town of Saraqib in Eastern Idlib from Southern Aleppo and Southeastern Idlib.
