In the most recent advances, the army managed to recapture several towns and villages, including the town of al-Ays,on the outskirts of Aleppo on Tuesday.
The army regainedcontrol of Ays following heavy clashes with terrorists in the city of Hadir, which led to the citys liberation.
The recapture of Ays isconsidered a strategically-important victory for the army since Ays is located in the middle of a highway that connects Aleppo to the Syrian capital, Damascus.
