Syrian rebels on Thursday have taken a ground from Islamic State in northern countryside of Aleppo near the Turkish border as clashes still underway, rebel source said.
The moderate Islamist groups have seized al-Kherba village, taking advantage from Turkish support to have an ISIS-free zone on the border.
Abu Omar, rebel commander told Zaman al-Wasl that the main target of the offensive on ISIS is to halt its advances in the northern countryside.
The commander says there is a public consensus in northern villages of Aleppo that IS should be wiped off from their land amid a state of convenience for the planned 'safe zone'.
ISIS has faced slow setbacks in the last few weeks in the northeast of the war-torn country as the U.S.-led coalition deeply inflicts huge losses in ISIS ranks.
