Tiger groups and the Elite of Hezbollah close the road of Maskanah – Al-Raqqah – al-Bokamal and get close to besiege Maskanah completely

Aleppo province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the far eastern countryside of Aleppo is still witnessing continued violent clashes between the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities against members of the “Islamic State” organization in areas in the vicinity of Maskanah town, where the regime forces continue the process of surrounding Maskanah town, and were able to reach the international road which leads from Maskanah to the southern countryside of Al-Raqqah and the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, where now about 5 kilometers separate between the regime forces at the international road and the right bank of the Euphrates River, and if the regime forces advance in the area they will have surrounded the “Islamic State” organization in Maskanah town, which no longer has the option but to stay in the siege and fight until the end or until reaching an agreement allows them to withdraw, or to withdraw from the area before besieging it completely.
