Footage of the Syrian Army capturing ISIL’s stronghold in west Raqqa
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) recently liberated the key town of Resafa in the western countryside of the Al-Raqqa Governorate, marking the first time in five years that they have had a presence in this area.
A video of the Syrian Arab Army’s Tiger Forces capturing Resafa was released by pro-government media channels, Wednesday; it shows more than ten minutes of footage from this operation that led to the liberation of this town.
With the liberation of Resafa this week, the Syrian Arab Army has taken control of more than 1,400 square kilometers and 22 villages in the past 14 days.
The Syrian Arab Army has now shifted their attention to the Khanasser Plain, where they hope to secure their imperative supply line to the Aleppo Governorate.
