On Friday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Hezbollah, the National Defense Forces (NDF), and Kata’ebat Al-Ba’ath (Al-Ba’ath Battalions) launched offensive in southern Aleppo.
According to the repots the pro-Assad forces captured 4 check points of the terrorists: Jabhat Al-Shamiyah (Levantine Front), Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
The Syrian fofces took control of the villages of ‘Abtayn, Al-Wadayhi, and Qala’at Al-Najam. This rapid progress by the pro-government forces caught the terrorists off-guard and they moved to the southwest of the sector.
Separately, the Russian warplanes carried out at least 6 air raids on the terrorists’ positions to support the pro-government forces’ actions.
The main objective of the offensive is to recapture the Azzan Mountains. It will allow to expand the buffer-zone around the Syrian Government’s only highway leading to the provincial capital.
