LAST UPDATE
The Syrian Army has gained full control over al-Rashedin District
in the northern city of Aleppo following fresh advances in the
strategic city.
Syrian soldiers seized al-Rashedin on Friday after fierce fighting with
foreign-backed Takfiri militants across Aleppo, where they destroyed
a hideout used by militants for rigging vehicles with explosives.
Army units killed a large number of terrorists near al-Ashrafieh,
al-Sheikh Maksoud and al-Khalidieh districts and destroyed large
caches of weapons and ammunitions used by the militants.
Elsewhere, Syrian troops targeted several militant headquarters in
the western city of Homs and the southwestern city of Dara'a, just
north of the border with Jordan, killing and wounding a number of them.
Meanwhile, a commander of the notorious al-Nusra Front was killed
during infighting between terrorist gangs in Barzeh, near the Syrian
capital.
Fierce clashes continue between Kurdish fighters and Takfiri militants
who accuse most Islamic sects of being infidels.
The fighting is mostly focused on towns and villages near the
flashpoint town of Ras al-Ayn, which was recently seized by Kurdish
fighters.
More than 40 people have been killed since the clashes erupted
on Tuesday.
Syria has been experiencing deadly unrest since 2011. Many people
including large numbers of security and army personnel have been
killed in the violence, which has forced millions of others to flee
their homes.
Damascus says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country,
and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are
foreign nationals.
The Syrian government says the West and its regional allies --
especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the
militants.
