Jaysh al-Fatth launched a major offensive on Saturday night to break Assad siege laid on Aleppo, Orient Newscorrespondent Khaled Abo al-Majed reported and added that two car bombs targeted Assad positions to kill tens of Assad terrorists and sectarian mercenaries.
The car attacks enabled opposition fighters to make some progress. Many lost-to-Assad points were recaptured, but the military progress was met by Russian jet fighters which conducted tens of scorched land policy airstrikes on the lost positions. Jaysh al-Fatth fighters were obliged to halt the offensive, Orient Net learnt from activists in the battlefield.
Meanwhile, al-Shamiyya Front, an allied opposition fighting group, published a video showing its fighters targeting Assad terrorists’ barricades near al-Mallah in the north of Aleppo.
Residents there described shortages of basic goods after Assad terrorists advanced within firing range of the key Kastello Road supply route.
Assad and Iran terrorists advanced in al-Mallah area with huge military enforcement from their strongholds in Aleppo northern countryside. More than 1000 terrorists were brought most of them are Hezbollah fighters and others are Palestinians or Iraqis in addition to armed Shiite mercenaries from other locations.
Around 200,000 people remain in the opposition-held eastern sectors of Aleppo, which has been divided between Assad regime and opposition’s control since shortly after fighting in the city erupted in mid-2012.
