(Zaman Al Wasl)- Nour el-Din al-Zinki Movement on Monday said it had killed 60 soldiers in the northern province of Aleppo after fierce fighting with regime forces.
The powerful Islamist group, in statement posted online, said it had carried a counter attack on regime forces and allied militias in al-Mallah district overnight, killing scores and recapturing posts were lost to regime favor last week.
On Thursday, rebels captured T-90 tank, the most advanced Russian tank in service, in al-Mallah's battlefield, rebel commander said.
Also in Aleppo, U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces made new territorial gains against Islamic State, moving closer to another of its major strongholds in northern Syria, according to Reuters.
The SDF, bringing together Kurdish and Arab fighters, were now almost 17 km from the city of al-Bab, an Islamic State stronghold north east of Aleppo.
The SDF on Friday cut off the last route into the encircled town of Manbij from al-Bab after over a week of advances around that area, allowing it to lay siege to the large town from all directions, the Syrian Observatory for human Right said.
