The soldiers of the Syrian army returned on Monday under their control the highway-Salmiya Atraya Chomo-east of the city of Hama. On this highway, which is called the "way of life", there is the northern capital of Syria - Aleppo (360 km from Damascus), as reported by Tass agency. Last week, the highway was blocked by the extremist group "Islamic State" (IG) and "Al-Nusra Dzhebhat" who used the bad weather conditions to do that.
Syrian troops finally managed to dislodge militants from all the occupied positions. Cleaned area along the highway at a depth of 15 km.
