Apart from supply routes, the Syrian forces also destroyed Daesh strongholds in Aleppo province in the country's north.
The army's latest offensive came a day after the government troops clashed with Daesh terrorists in the southern countryside of Aleppo, in fighting that reportedly left at least five militants killed.

Adding to the Syrian Army's anti-Daesh effort is Russia's air campaign, which was launched on September 30, when more than fifty Russian warplanes, including the Su-24M, the Su-25 and the Su-34, commenced precision airstrikes on Daesh targets in Syria at the behest of President Bashar Assad.
Additionally, the Syrian Army pushed terrorists out of Height 713 and al-Koz mountain after Russian warplanes launched a series of airstrikes against militant targets in the area.
