On February 16, al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its Turkish-backed allies launched another attack on the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) newly-established positions in the western Aleppo countryside.
The attack targeted the towns of Kafr Halab and Miznaz, which were both liberated by the army and its allies earlier this month.
Dozens of militants and several armored vehicles took part in the large-scale offensive, that was allegedly backed by the Turkish Armed Forces. A suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (SVBIED) was also used.

In spite of their good preparations and large numbers, the attackers were crushed in the vicinity of Kafr Halab and Miznaz. The SAA, backed by the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) and the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), repelled the attack within a single hour.
According to pro-government sources, the army destroyed eleven armored vehicles and battle tanks of HTS and its allies. The terrorist groups also lost 60 of their elite fighters.
This was the third such attack on Kafr Halab and Miznaz this month. In the most recent attack, which took place two days ago, the army destroyed three ACV-15 armored personnel carriers (APCs) which were supplied to the militants by Turkey.
The militants’ repeated attacks in western Aleppo don’t only reflect their desperation, but also the desperation of their main backer, Turkey. Ankara’s ever increasing support to the militants has failed to stop or even slow down the army’s advance in the region, thus far.
I don’t undestand the images of that group of buldings beeing destroyed, i can not read the subtext Is it the result of only one SVBIED ? Used by Al-Qaeda/Turkish ? Or an attack by SAA ?
“Is it the result of only one SVBIED” exactly green circle in 1st pic is SVBIED. SVBIED goes boom, couple of buildings are flattened.
let´s hope for minimal losses of SAA personel
It’s a very impressive explosion, sadly. I thought it was an airstrike by Russia first.
when you see ebaa news you know it is the headchoppers news reel
Their watermark on the video looks like decorated penis.
Safe to call them dickheads!
Uh, when are these Arabs gonna get smart? They all became pawns
Why won’t the Russian army give them an armored troop carrier?
Looking for cyanide ?

As Fred Flintstone might rejoice, “yabba-dabba-doo”
The key point is to keep on going, and this is well know by Russia during WWII. So, do not stop, keep on going up to recover the whole Idlib area. I think SAA soldiers have understood that for their country and the future of their people it is necessary even to give their life without any step back.
I smell specnaz in action.. gj
Its not Turkey but Canon that is now the primary sponser of militants!
Thats real question that no one answer from the past, how on earth they dont put just simple barrier like big stone and nail wooden plank, those suicide bomber car are heavy armored that if something happened to their tire, it will go stop and easy to shoot at
The good general will always leave a path open for the enemy to retreat. Saving him the hustle of possible loses while trying to kill every single last of the enemy.
I remember the Americans firing and killing many Iraqi soldiers retreating during the gulf war! They had celebrations on how they killed many of the enemy “In battle” they were all given medals and promotions so…I guess it doesn’t work all the time
The quote is from the Chinese General SunZu (The art of War). He is refering to a retreating army that could if was pushed return and put up a fight. You on the other hand, I believe, are talking about Iraqis runing for their lives, literally turning their backs to the enemy and running away (with all due respect for the Iraqis). And we know the mouricunts have no honour no ethics nothing. Its all a job for them. Just as it is for jihadi mercenaries.
I am taking about a well documented story of soldiers retreating and America took advantage..Nothing like turning their backs on the enemy…Or how else it retreating…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Death
And to add insult to injury…Games have been released to show it as a Russian war crime…NOT AN AMERICAN WAR CRIME!It was a crime against the Geneva convention but hey: America is not signitory to the Geneva bs….America is above human law https://www.newsweek.com/call-duty-modern-warfare-highway-death-russia-gulf-war-1468207
“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard. – SunTzu, Bing Fa
But what to do when that open road welcomes deadly jihad mobiles?
Glad you asked :-) Well, you wait for a traffic jam and then you let rip with all your air power and roast the enemy for miles down the road. Think “Baghdad Highway of Death”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Death
It is all over now for HTS and their Turkish supporter Sultan Err Dog-an in and around Aleppo.. “According to a field source in Aleppo, the Syrian Army’s victory came this afternoon following the capture of the Layramoun and Kafr Hamra sectors, which were under the control of the jihadist rebels for most of the war.” AMN News.
Great Celebration by front line SAA fighters on their victory in Aleppo. Read all about it on AMN News……BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:10 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) captured the strategic Al-Zahra’a Association Quarter in the northwestern part of Aleppo city on February 16, 2020, marking the end of the battle for the provincial capital after nearly eight years of fighting.
Everything that that sick maggot Erdogan touches (no insults to sick maggots intended) eventually turns to shit. This might be a hint for the people of Turkey to get rid of this sick fuck (no insults to sick fuck intended) before the whole of Turkey goes to shit.
LMAO :-)))
Two thumbs up my friend.
Strange video and photos. Propaganda for HTS ?
Have anyone seen this More , Erdogan asks for backup from the chief terrorists from across the Atlantic. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e1a6e70df67566f5fd303a84c333ab8cee4d5a1054b746d13f60719a6e39f5b3.png https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202002161078328439-more-than-fifty-us-military-vehicles-reportedly-arrive-in-syria-from-iraq/
Once Idlib is fully retaken then Assad should push for the ousting of the Yanks.
Only get to use those uniforms once
poor folks, totally delusional. No one can save them. Terminal phase disease.
Its like a bunch of thugs trying to take down steven segal and they all get manhandled hahahaha
famous last words of camelfuckers: allahu akbar… cheers!
Encouraging attacks on SAA positions is the quickest way to rid Idlib of fanatics and jihadists. It’s far better annihilate the rebels during their futile offensives that are unlikely to produce any meaningful results. During rebel offensive, they lose far more armor, equipment, and personnel than during SAA operations. It is far more costly to take territory from well dug in fighters with prepared positions and premade ambushes then to allow them to suicide charge prepared Syrian forces with air power. creating pockets of jihadists that are ripe for surrounding also proved to be an effective strategy getting terrorist to abandon otherwise well-prepared positions.
I hope Syria takes the fight to Turkey and takes back Iskendar. Turkey needs to be humiliated.
ISKENDAR = ALEXANDRIA (one of many) . As a Greek I hope this Alexandria becomes part of Syria with all my heart. F*ck the filthy, dirty, scumy, genocide prone, Turkish-Mongols.
the Turkish-Mongols metastasized into Jews….
The Syrian army will take over Alexandria :)))))))))))))))) hahahahah-I think the Greeks should send 300 Spartans :))))))
300 ? naah thats way too many. 300 fought vs 500k Persians … It will take about 50 Greek special forces (OYK) today to do any job in the middle east, no probs, easy peasy.
ooooo jihadist god has abandoned you same like isis
Its almost as if Erdogander was commanded to bark like a dog by the US to create a distraction.
Great news. I feel as if my own country had won against these terrorists -we also went through a period when we almost lost our nation to crazy criminals. In 2017 I went to the ME. I wanted to cross to Syria to help, but they said it was quite dangerous, especially from the Jordanian border. But perhaps I will go this year to celebrate and I may take my daughter.
There are already plenty of Western Tourist going on Group tour to Damascus and Aleppo… you can check them out on youtube ,,, plenty of videos of Tourist there …
This mighty victory came in the wake of the Islamist Turk-backed filth attempting to shell an escape corridor for Syrian civilians who wanted to flee the stench of Wahhabist vermin. The criminal invaders got their just desserts. Glory to the heroic Syrian Arab Army!
