Turkey-backed National armed groups under the umbrella of the Syrian National Army have recently advanced in some areas in northeastern Syria, as reaching the vicinity of the city of Ain Issa, and the control over “Aliya” silos, located on the international highway M4.

This military advancement and control comes after the Turkish-backed armed groups advance in Mabrouka and al-Managir areas, and the full control over Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ain.
North-Press correspondents were able to reach an area very close to Aliya silos at a distance of about 1 km, and monitor the movement that has become almost non-existent with the exception of some motorcycles driven by people from villages near the contact areas.

The international highway M4, which enters the Syrian territories from Iraq through al-Yarbiyeh border-crossing and passes Tal Tamer to Ain Issa, Manbij, al-Bab, and Tadef to Aleppo through Saraqeb and Areeha to Lattakia and other towns and villages.

It is also a vital road linking the northern and eastern areas with western and coastal region.
With the arm groups’ control over Aliya silos area, the road is almost completely closed preventing thousands of vehicles from traveling on this international highway.

Meanwhile, the Syrian government forces headed toward areas in Tal Tamer countryside in the northwest countryside of Hasakah.
