Syrian Army seizes several sites from ISIS at Quraytayn

  The Syrian Arab Army’s 43rd and 63rd brigades of the 4th Mechanized Division reportedly entered Quraytayn on Saturday for the first time since August of 2015 when they retreated from this strategic city in the southeastern countryside of the Homs Governorate. 

 
   Despite their entry into Quraytayn, the Syrian Armed Forces withdrew from the western perimeter after failing to establish a foothold inside the city on Saturday evening. However, the Syrian Armed Forces were able to tighten the siege around Quraytayn by liberating several areas under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham, paving the way for a three prong attack on the city. 
 
   According to a military source at the T-4 Military Airport, the Syrian Armed Forces – led by the 64th Regiment of the 4th Mechanized Division and 67th Brigade of the 18th Tank Division – liberated Sin Al-Kharoubi Al-Kabeer, Al-Hazzm Al-Abyad, and the Northern Quraytayn Farms. 
 
   As a result of these gains on Saturday, the Syrian Armed Forces are in position to enter Quraytayn from several flanks. Saturday was the first time the Russian military advisers and Air Force participated in the battle for Quraytayn.

 

 

Rebels seize strategic high point in southern Aleppo – Map update

   In a surprise offensive, combined Islamist rebel forces of the Jaish al-Fateh coalition remarkably captured the town of al-Eis and its adjacent hill in a two-wave assault yesterday; this high point holds huge strategic significance as it is the single tallest spot in all of southern Aleppo.

 
   Prior to the loss of al-Eis, government troops of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and National Defence Forces (NDF) were able to obstruct the rebel-held M5-Highway through fire control at the top of Al-Eis while literally eyeing the province of Idlib in the horizon.
 
   Nevertheless, close to 100 rebel militants have died during the capture of Al-Eis.
 
   As some Al-Masdar readers might recall, southern Aleppo did witness extremely bloody clashes not long ago. However, the actual frontline in this area has been completely static since late December as both sides seemed more than happy to settle for a temporal stalemate. Remarkably, Al-Eis and the entire region was actually rebel-held up until late 2015. 
 
   At that point in time, dozens of villages and towns in the area fell to pro-government troops due to an offensive which was spearheaded by the Iranian Major General, Qassem Soleimani. His advances, on behalf of the Syrian military, can be seen in this map timeline. 
 
   Meanwhile, rebels also launched a simultaneous offensive yesterday in the province of Latakia which effectively had them capture two key points. Thereby, Syrian rebels have now formally rejected the Geneva peace deal, not only on the battlefield, but also at the negotiating table. 
 
   By capturing Al-Eis, rebels have now reversed the military situation and are able to monitor positions of the Syrian Arab Army on the southern outskirts of Aleppo city. With the Russian Airforce idle for unspecified reasons, the momentum and initiative now seems to favor the Islamists in the countryside of Aleppo.

 

   They managed to brake first position (SAA FOB) on Tellet Eis hill, which was a key position to control village and areas around it (highest, with good LOS on other places), and jihaidst could fire at 2 smaller defence bases near village. Little fighting happened inside of village itself, as main forces of NDF and SAA were located on top of 3 hills near/around Tel-Eis village.

  The U.S. backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” have reentered the Deir Ezzor Governorate after seizing the Juweif Oil Station from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) on Saturday afternoon. 

 
   According to the media wing for the “People’s Protection Units” (YPG), this site is a pressure station along the oil pipeline that stretches from Al-Hasakah to the port-city of Baniyas in Tartous. 
 
   The Syrian Democratic Forces were able to seize this imperative site that is located 40 km north of Deir Ezzor City after U.S. airstrikes pounded ISIS’ positions near the Al-Hasakah border.
