03/10/2016

ALEPPO, SYRIA (5:25 A.M.) – Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s Republican Guard, backed by Hezbollah, began a new assault in the southern sector of Aleppo, striking the southern portion of the 1070 Al-Hamdaniyah Housing Project that is under the control of the jihadist rebels.

The Syrian Armed Forces and Hezbollah began the new assault by storming the southern buildings inside the 1070 Al-Hamdaniyah Housing Project of southern Aleppo; this resulted in an intense battle with the jihadist rebels of Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) that is still ongoing at the moment.

According to an Al-Masdar correspondent in Aleppo City, the Syrian Armed Forces and Hezbollah managed to capture several buildings from the jihadist rebels this morning; however, without Hikmah Hill, these gains could be reversed rather quickly by Jaysh Al-Fateh.

ALEPPO, SYRIA (4:15 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s Republican Guard, backed by Liwaa Al-Quds (Palestinian paramilitary), continued their large-scale advance inside the provincial capital of Aleppo on Sunday night, targeting new areas under the control of Fatah Halab near the Handarat Refugee Camp and Kindi Cancer Hospital.

According to a military source in the provincial capital, the Syrian Armed Forces managed to capture the western axis of the Awijah District after a fierce battle on Sunday night with the jihadist rebels of Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and Jabhat Al-Shamiyah.

In addition to their advance at Awijah, the Syrian Armed Forces are also pushing towards the Bureijj Quarries, where they hope to expel the remaining jihadist rebels in the area.

Intense clashes are still ongoing inside the Awijah District, as the Syrian Armed Forces continue their massive advance against the jihadist rebels in northern Aleppo.

ALEPPO, SYRiA (9:40 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s Republican Guard, backed by Liwaa Al-Quds (Palestinian paramilitary), imposed full control over the Kindi Hospital in northern Aleppo after a three-day long battle with the jihadist rebels of Fatah Halab.

This military operation to capture the Kindi Hospital began on Tuesday, when the Syrian Armed Forces managed to break-through the jihadist front-lines and capture the Handarat Refugee Camps.

Following the capture of the Handarat Refugee Camp, the Syrian Armed Forces seized the Kindi Hospital, only to lose it some hours later when the jihadist rebels launched a fierce counter-attack.

On Saturday, the Syrian Armed Forces established full-control over the Barakah Quarries that overlook the Kindi Hospital; this paved the way for their eventual capture of this imperative site in northern Aleppo.
