Contingents from the Islamic Front (Jabhat Al-Islamiyya) launched a widespread assault on the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) near the village of Al-Bureijj in northeast Aleppo, resulting in the capture of Tal Al-Maysaat on Tuesday morning.

However, the success was short-lived when the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF) came to the aid of their comrades entrenched on the outskirts of Tal Al-Maysaat.

The SAAF pounded the Islamic Front’s positions with repeated air raids that paved the way for an SAA counter-attack; this assault led to the loyalist forces taking complete control of Tal Al-Maysaat almost 2 hours after it was declared under the Islamic Front’s possession.

An SAA source in Aleppo reported that firefights have resurfaced between the SAA and Islamic Front on the outskirts of Tal Al-Maysaat, as both sides continue their tug-of-war battle for control of this imperative area in northeast Aleppo.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
