The Syrian Arab Army’s “Cheetah Forces” (Tiger Forces branch) – in coordination with National Defense Forces (NDF) of Aleppo City and Kataebat Al-Ba’ath (Al-Ba’ath Battalions) – continued their advance to the Kuweires Military Airport on Friday, capturing several building blocks from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) inside the town of Sheikh Ahmad in the Deir Hafer Plains.
The Cheetah Forces and their allies began their assault at the southern district of Sheikh Ahmad, where they were confronted by a large contingent of fighters from ISIS; this attack resulted in the aforementioned terrorist group’s retreat towards the town-center after they had their positions overrun by the pro-government forces.
